<a href="https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/nippermi">Melanie Rose Nipper</a> is an Adjunct Professor with Miami University and the University of Cincinnati (UC). As stated in her <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/melanie-nipper-18b811243/">LinkedIn</a> profile, Melanie is a passionate advocate for DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) and education. According to UC records, she was contracted by the department of <a href="https://www.artsci.uc.edu/departments/wgss.html">Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies</a> to teach a “<a href="https://classes.catalyst-services.uc.edu/search/">Gender in Pop Culture</a>” course.

Olivia Krolczyk, the student who posted the video, was given a failing grade on a proposal for Nipper’s class. The student shared that her proposal was centered around the argument that, “trans athletes competing in women’s sports were taking opportunities away from biological women.”
To Olivia’s surprise, she was given a failing grade on this proposal for describing the people that were born a woman as “biological women.”
When asked about this incident, Nipper responded, “This is unacceptable based on the community, the marginalized individuals that are at stake, and also the foundations of the course.” She continued, saying that when a student uses ‘outdated terminology,’ she feels it is necessary to correct those mistakes: “Not a zero for the course… A zero for an assignment.”

<a href="https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/tichavaa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antar Akari Tichavakunda</a> is an Assistant Professor of Higher Education at the University of Cincinnati. According to his university biography, his research focuses on college readiness, black students’ experiences at predominantly white institutions, and the sociology of race and higher education.

Tichavakunda wrote a June 2022 op-ed for Inside Higher Ed titled, <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2022/06/30/academic-integrity-issues-are-not-race-neutral-opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Let’s Talk About Race and Academic Integrity.”</a> In this article, he argues that “Black and Latinx” students are <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=19850" target="_blank" rel="noopener">harmed by exam surveillance, zero-tolerance policies, and fraternities and sororities.</a> He says that proctoring software doesn’t always work correctly for those who have darker skin and that the “algorithms and codes structuring such technologies can perpetuate racial biases and stereotypes.”

Tichavakunda also believes that zero-tolerance plagiarism and academic integrity policies harm “Black and Latinx” students because the people who decide what is considered punishable are not “race-neutral.” He states:
“Decision makers, from faculty members to student conduct officers, hold beliefs about identity that - if uninterrogated - could potentially be racist and discriminatory.” 
Lastly, he claims that test banks, the cheat sheets made for exams by sororities and fraternities, are unfair to minorities because “the members of the oldest organizations with the largest test banks are predominantly white.”

In another Inside Higher Ed op-ed, titled <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/views/2022/08/22/affirmative-action-probably-dead-whats-next-opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Affirmative Action Is Probably Dead: Now What,”</a> he argues that “universities committed to the ideals of racial justice” should require “their applicants to think and act on issues of racial justice.” He suggests that universities could require all applicants to have completed an ethnic studies course or to include a statement of their commitment to racial justice on their application.
“Though universities may soon be denied the ability to consider race in admissions, they can consider a commitment to racial justice as part of a holistic admissions process.” 
Tichavakunda believes that racial injustice is one of the “most pervasive and persistent challenges of our time” and that universities must consider race if they want to be “caretakers of democracy.”

According to <a href="http://mel-andrews.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her website</a>, she previously taught courses such as “Introduction to Cognitive Studies” and “Medical Ethics.”

Campus Reform reported Andrews wrote on her Twitter that <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=17083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“intelligence is a White man’s mythology.”</a> In a lengthy thread dated February 23, 2021, Andrews says:

Andrews then attached an <a href="https://twitter.com/bayesianboy/status/1364395418105356288" target="_blank" rel="noopener">excerpt from a chapter</a> she wrote for a book titled “Handbook of Parenting.” In her chapter, she cited works claiming “more than a century of wanton reductionism and definitional vagueness in the study of intelligence and human potential has perpetuated a stratified social order and obscured the true dynamic complexity and diversity of human cognitive development.”

The full Twitter thread <a href="https://twitter.com/bayesianboy/status/1364383079968739333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1364383079968739333%7Ctwgr%5E36878b6749e7b6e7e41940c97ea815b760b7cf65%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcampusreform.org%2Farticle%3Fid%3D17083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can be viewed here.</a>

In an interview with Campus Reform, Andrews said, “I was addressing a phenomenon that I have noticed to be common in academic philosophy wherein individuals emphasize the intelligence of minority scholars and students over the quality of the work they produce.”

She added:
“It is the same phenomenon that occurs when a white instructor says to a Black student, in a surprised tone, ‘oh, you’re so articulate!’ It implies an expectation that Black students will be ineloquent. It was not - as is contextually obvious from what I had initially posted - a condemnation of intelligence ascriptions simpliciter.” 
Campus Reform adds that Andrews asked to be referred to as a “Marxist and anarcho-syndicalist” with “they/them/theirs” pronouns.

<a href="https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/loadenml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Loadenthal</a> is an Assistant Professor of Research at the University of Cincinnati. According to his <a href="https://michaelloadenthal.academia.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Academia.edu profile</a>, Loadenthal also “serves as the Executive Director of the Peace and Justice Studies Association (Georgetown University), the Executive Director of the Prosecution Project, and an open-source investigator and social movement trainer.”

In 2021, Loadenthal spoke at an“<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRbXNvwSROE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Extremism, Rhetoric and Democratic Precarity</a>” roundtable at the University of Dayton’s “Social Practice of Human Rights Conference.” During this talk, he presented “The Pyramid of Far-Right Radicalization.”

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3150" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screen-Shot-2023-08-30-at-10.57.58-AM.png" alt="" width="727" height="979" />

In Loadenthal’s presentation, the descriptive text at the bottom of the picture was not visible. However, his notes visible on the screen read:
“So today we’re talking about the modern far-right, which depending on who you ask, can include things as mundane as the Heritage Foundation, all the way up to underground cells of militants. I like the use of this 4-part taxonomy, although I disagree with some of the groups’ placements.” 
When asked about the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/university-program-linking-christians-republicans-nazis-granted-dhs-funds-part-anti-terror-initiative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sourcing of the graphic</a>, Loadenthal noted that he did not create it; rather, “I found it a helpful conceptual scaffolding and used it.”

Loadenthal spoke at another University of Dayton event, a “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc6tFQMnL14" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Nationalism Seminar</a>.” In this talk, he seemingly <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2023/06/01/meet-the-violent-anarchist-behind-dhss-pyramid-of-far-right-radicalization-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted to being a member of Antifa</a> and discussed how in his “younger years,” he engaged in “direct confrontation” with alleged white supremacists.
“We organized largely through networks - today people would call Antifa, at the time it was known as anti-racist action - to follow white supremacists where they go, to outnumber them, and then to physically confront them and deny them the space to physically meet in public. This is the idea of de-platforming. I worked in that realm for a long time.” 
He also spoke to attendees about how to securely dox people, detailing “how he uses a VPN, burner phones, encrypted communications, and ‘sock puppet’ accounts to dox people.”
“We contact employers, landlords, commanding officers, school officials, family, clergy, and we pressure service providers [PayPal, GoFundMe, Patreon, Amazon etc.] … and people will kick people off.” 
During a question-and-answer portion of the discussion, Loadenthal was asked how people can help his work. He responded, “Donate money…We have defense funds because we get into trouble. A lot of the things we’re doing are illegal…a lot of it involves breaking the law.”

<a href="https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/novakdn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vesna Dominika Novak</a> is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Cincinnati. Novak — a male formerly known as Domen — now identifies as female and uses “she/her” pronouns. According to his university profile, Novak’s interests include “rehabilitation robotics, wearable robotics, virtual reality, serious games, affective computing, and human activity recognition.”

In November 2023, Novak and two other researchers received a $213,878 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to create a smartphone app to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/nih-awards-200k-to-researchers-creating-transgender-voice-training-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help transgender men sound like women</a>. The <a href="https://reporter.nih.gov/search/9hRsKQVyakaKSCkPwM0_gA/project-details/10788947" target="_blank" rel="noopener">project abstract</a> states:
“Transgender and gender diverse people exhibit a significantly lower quality of life than the general public. One reason for this is voice dysphoria: distress because a person’s voice does not match their gender identity (e.g., trans women with deep voices).”
“One way to provide more accessible GAVT (gender-affirming voice and communication training) would be through smartphone- or computer-based software that delivers information about voice, suggests exercises, and provides feedback on exercise performance.” 
The study will <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/02/biden-admin-trans-voice-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recruit 40 biological men who identify as transgender</a> to meet online every week, use the researchers’ “prototype” app, and complete homework. The project started in December 2023 and is scheduled to run through November 2025.

In 2022, Novak co-authored a 57-question survey in the <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0892199722000686?dgcid=author" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Journal of Voice</a> that interviewed “transgender and gender-diverse” people. The survey found that participants “were positive about the idea of a [voice training] app and considered it more accessible and less dysphoria-inducing than human coaches as well as more effective than self-guided training.”

After the survey was released, Novak was interviewed by <a href="https://www.uc.edu/news/articles/2022/04/uc-professor-says-transgender-and-gender-diverse-people-may-benefit-from-a-proper-voice-training-app.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UC News</a>, where he stated:
“Voice training is training fundamentally. A lot of people will do it for two hours and give up. It is like weight loss for two hours. You don’t get anything from that. But if you do this long term you will see results. It works if you do it well enough and long enough. Most people can’t figure out how to do it well.”

Princeton Bioethics Professor Peter Singer made headlines after sharing his views on sex acts with animals. On November 8, 2023, Singer shared what he called a “thought-provoking article” titled “<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mOOHWhgfENSAz-Bl7kQb9fPHHzRqh9Dm/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible</a>.” Singer said that “[the article] challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual contact between humans and animals.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Another thought-provoking article is "Zoophilia Is Morally Permissible" by Fira Bensto (pseudonym), which is just out in the current issue of <a href="https://twitter.com/JConIdeas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JConIdeas</a>.
This piece challenges one of society's strongest taboos and argues for the moral permissibility of some forms of sexual… <a href="https://t.co/32fIaJEJ1J">pic.twitter.com/32fIaJEJ1J</a>

— Peter Singer (@PeterSinger) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSinger/status/1722440246972018857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The article Singer referred to states that “[s]ex with animals is a powerful social taboo that exposes its practitioners to utmost indignation and stigma.” The piece also claims, “Many people who have sex with animals do not strictly speaking have a zoophilic orientation, but use animals as surrogates for human sex partners.”
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/11/11/lifestyle/princeton-professor-ignites-outrage-by-calling-journal-article-about-sex-with-animals-thought-provoking-someone-check-his-hard-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Singer followed up his original post with an essay on Facebook where he clarified:
“I didn’t write the article on the permissibility of zoophilia [but] I am a co-editor for that journal. The fact that we judge an article worthy of publication does not indicate that I or my co-editors agree with the views contained in it…The Journal of Conversational Ideas is free and open access for everyone to read…
“Now imagine that you are an animal living with a person who cares for you and loves you in all the ways that most people love their companion animals, but in addition, this person sometimes has sexual contact with you, making sure that the contact does not hurt you, and leaving you free to move away if you don't like it…”
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPeterSingerOfficialPage%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02Au3SMtXhVsbkrHSkPJmVa4BhXei9y3Tpc822yVAKLLisxtVJ1bcpUhZEc8rHQp7Jl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="792" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

One commenter said Singer was “adopting the language of predator abusers, the same words used to dismiss and denigrate [rape] survivors.”

In a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/peter-singer-compares-abortion-to-turning-off-a-computer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review article</a> titled, “Peter Singer Compares Abortion to Turning Off a Computer,” the author writes, “To understand Singer’s perspective: He doesn’t believe that human life has moral value simply because he or she is human. Rather, value has to be earned, primarily be being self-aware or able to value life [sic]. He argues that self-aware entities are ‘persons’ —including some animals.”

National Review continued, “[Singer] also believes that non-self-aware beings—including human infants, unborn babies, and people who have serious dementia, persistent unconsciousness or minimal consciousness—are not persons. Non-persons, in his view, have lower moral value than persons and can be killed or used instrumentally for the benefit of persons…”

Peter Singer is a Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. As a philosopher and self-identified “<a href="https://longtermrisk.org/hedonistic-vs-preference-utilitarianism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hedonistic utilitarian</a>,” Dr. Singer holds a number of controversial views on human and animal ethics. These include stances on abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide.

More than an advocate for abortion, Dr. Singer claims there is nothing inherently immoral about killing a child.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB5IZXGmk08&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">During a debate at Harvard University</a>, Dr. Singer recognized that fetuses in the womb are living human beings. However, he added people—including those not yet born—have varying degrees of value based on whether or not they feel pain.

He further claimed that only people who are fully conscious or feel pain have a right to their own lives. Abortion, he argued, cannot be considered immoral. Dr. Singer acknowledges that his stance presents a “challenging” problem regarding recently-born children.
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DB5IZXGmk08" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

Dr. Singer has also justified infanticide for babies who are disabled or have serious health conditions. In the 1979 edition of Practical Ethics, he wrote: “<a href="https://archive.org/details/practicalethics0000sing/page/n3/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Killing a defective infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Sometimes it is not wrong at all</a>.”

Many have accused <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Singer of being sympathetic to eugenics</a> due to his apparent empathy towards parents who <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/human-exceptionalism/peter-singer-eugenicist-wesley-j-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">select particular genes in human fetuses for more desirable children</a>.

During a 2015 radio interview, Dr. Singer argued that it was “reasonable” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/ethics-professor-kill-severely-disabled-infants-under-obamacare/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to euthanize disabled infants to prevent higher premiums under Obamacare</a>. In a Q&amp;A hosted on his personal website, Dr. Singer <a href="https://petersinger.info/faq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims that newborns are not persons as they have “no sense of the future</a>.”

“[Killing] a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.”

Dr. Singer added that although killing an infant is a “terrible thing to do,” parents should have the freedom to end the life of their newborn. He added that the presiding doctor would then take steps to “swiftly and humanely” end the child’s life.

According to his biography, Dr. Singer <a href="https://uchv.princeton.edu/people/peter-singer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been teaching at Princeton since 1999</a>. He authored other books on utilitarianism, veganism, and animal liberation.

According to her University biography, Dr. Taylor is a scholar of racial inequity in public policymaking, and writes “extensively” about race, politics, and “radical activism.”

As a Professor and political commentator, Dr. Taylor offers her opinion across a wide variety of social media platforms and media outlets. She is known to condemn capitalism, the United States, and Israel while lauding socialism and the Soviet Union.

On her personal <a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter account</a>, Dr. Taylor smears Israel as a racial, apartheid state that actively commits genocide against Arabs in the Middle East. In one tweet, she alleges that Israel is attempting to “annihilate” Palestine:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
The consequence of apartheid is not separation, it’s annihilation. End the occupation, free Palestine <a href="https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/2jUOpL3oBq</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

In another post, she flagrantly alleges that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Gaza, despite the <a href="https://www.camera.org/article/methodist-staffer-demonizes-israel-reveals-ignorance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resident Arab population quadrupling since 1948</a>,
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
What we are witnessing is not the “eviction” of Palestinians from their homes. This is ethnic cleansing. This is the most basic expression of settler colonialism. This is the illegal and immoral expulsion of Palestinians with the expectation they are “accepted” elsewhere. <a href="https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://t.co/erLUdzIdP8</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

&nbsp;

Dr. Taylor likewise alleges the United States is a brutally racist and oppressive society. In an article for the Marxist publication, Jacobin,<a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/05/reparations-slavery-racism-united-states-foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> she depicts racism as foundational to the United States</a>.

A frequent critic of policing, which she views as systemic racism embedded in the United States, Dr. Taylor lauds the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement as a “liberation struggle.” With communist, vice-presidential candidate, and Black Panther Party member, <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/angeladavis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angela Davis</a>, writing the forward, Dr. Taylor’s book—<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1646-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation-expanded-second-edition">From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation</a>—she praises the movement for having “awakened a new generation of activists” that will fight for “black liberation.”

BLM was <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founded following the death</a> of Treyvon Martin and the trial of George Zimmerman for his murder. After a jury acquitted Zimmerman in 2013, <a href="https://patrissecullors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patrice Cullors</a> joined with <a href="https://aliciagarza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alicia Garza</a> and <a href="https://www.opaltometi.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Opal Tometi</a> to found an organization, <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as stated on its website</a>.

“....whose mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes.” 

BLM came to further prominence following the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/gunshots-looting-after-grand-jury-in-ferguson-case-does-not-indict-officer-in-michael-brown-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riots in Ferguson, Missouri</a> in reaction to the acquittal of police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of robbery suspect, Michael Brown. Although later determined that Brown had attacked the officer, <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hands-up-dont-shoot-makes-wapos-list-of-outlandish-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLM was instrumental in spreading the lie</a> that Brown was shot at point-blank range with his hands raised.

In an interview with the progressive news outlet, DemocracyNow, in June of 2020, Dr. Taylor praises the BLM movement’s fight against systemic racism, stating that our nation is witnessing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMOG-W_X9m8&amp;ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an “uprising” against “racial terrorism” being inflicted upon black Americans by police officers</a>.

According to a <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study conducted by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED)</a>, BLM can be linked to 95% of the riots around the country–notably in Summer 2020 following the death of George Floyd. In an analysis of the study, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/16/study-up-to-95-percent-of-2020-u-s-riots-are-linked-to-black-lives-matter/">The Federalist</a> found, “of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter Activists.” The resulting riots were the largest in American history, <a href="https://fee.org/articles/george-floyd-riots-caused-record-setting-2-billion-in-damage-new-report-says-here-s-why-the-true-cost-is-even-higher/#:~:text=Only%20now%20are%20we%20beginning,%241%20billion%20to%20%242%20billion." target="_blank" rel="noopener">causing an estimated $2 billion in damages and 47 deaths.</a>

In separate Twitter posts, Dr. Taylor has condemned capitalism as being inherently exploitative while promoting the merits of socialism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Dr. Taylor’s positive view on socialism extends to the embrace of communist dictatorships. While attending the “This is Socialism!” conference in 2017, Dr. Taylor delivered a speech that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndSASqMLYMg&amp;ab_channel=WeAreManyMedia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the Russian Revolution</a> for its inspiration towards American communists and "revolution" against capitalism.

Despite her praise, the Bolshevik Revolution and the resulting formation of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. Upon overthrowing the Russian government in October 1917, Vladimir Lenin immediately set up <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lenin%27s+red+terror&amp;atb=v263-1&amp;ia=web" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a series of concentration camps for political prisoners and led the Soviet secret police in a brutal crackdown</a> known as the “Red Terror.” As many as one million people perished before the carnage ended with the cessation of the Russian Civil War in 1921. Over the course of the USSR's existence, as <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-staggering-toll-of-the-russian-revolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many as 60 million people perished under Soviet rule</a>.

Best was featured in a 2020 Princeton press release titled <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/09/30/wallace-best-leads-program-gender-and-sexuality-studies-dynamic-new-era" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wallace Best leads the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies into a dynamic new era</a>. In the article, Best responds to questions regarding his experience with feminine studies. When asked, “What is the value of studying gender and sexuality studies in the current era in America?,” Best said:
“It’s interdisciplinary in that it’s connected to more historically formal disciplines like sociology, political science and religion, but draws each in robust and engaging ways. I think about what’s happening with the Black Lives Matter movement, for example. Some of that activist work is born from the scholarship within the intellectual orbit — scholars who have centered issues of gender and sexuality in its inextricable connection to race, class, location and ethnicity.” 
He continued,
“So, when I see those protests, I feel quite proud that some of what the leaders say is born from the discourses of feminism, Black feminism, queer studies, and from gender and sexuality studies. So, I would say this is one of the most exciting times to be involved in this field.”
Best also holds a Ph.D. in Religion. His areas of research and teaching include African American religious history, religion and literature, Pentecostalism, and Womanist theology. One course Best teaches, <a href="https://religion.princeton.edu/courses/spring-2022/black-women-and-spiritual-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Black Women and Spiritual Narrative</a>,” focuses on “the hypothesis that religious metaphor and symbolism have figured prominently in Black women’s writing across literary genres.” He’s currently working on a book entitled “The Spiritual Capital of Black America: Twentieth Century Harlem’s World of Religion and Churches.”

Anne McClintock is Princeton University’s <a href="https://gss.princeton.edu/people/anne-mcclintock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies</a>. She’s also an Affiliated Faculty for the Princeton Environmental Institute and Department of English and serves on the Executive Committee of the Program in American Studies.

McClintock’s faculty profile says her “interdisciplinary and transitional work — both scholarly and creative — explores the intersections between race, gender and sexualities; imperialism and globalization.” Her interests also include sexual and gender violence, climate chaos, and animal studies.

McClintock is the author of “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Imperial_Leather/wRwiAQAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest</a>.” The publisher notes that the book “chronicles the dangerous liaisons between gender, race and class that shaped British imperialism and its bloody dismantling.” In one chapter called The White Family of Man, she says,
“King Solomon’s Mines was [sic] intimately concerned with events in South Africa following the discovery of diamonds and then gold: specifically, the reordering of women’s sexuality and work in the African homestead and the diversion of black male labor into the mines.”
She continues, 
“The Story illuminates not only relations between the imperial metropolis and the colonies but also the refashioning of gender relations in South Africa, as a nascent capitalism penetrated the region and disrupted already contested power relations with the homesteads.”
In 2019, McClintock was among several Princeton faculty members who participated in a campus strike. <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/princeton-students-faculty-join-community-climate-strike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Alumni Weekly</a> listed her as an event speaker in a protest to “demand climate justice.” That same year, she was also featured in The Nation’s article titled “<a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/princeton-students-are-sitting-in-for-title-ix-reform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princeton Students are Sitting in for Title IX Reform</a>.” This protest was organized after “believe all women” posters appeared in campus bathrooms and “Title IX protects rapists” was graffitied on a walking path.

The introduction contains a section called Race as Technology where she states that technology is “designed to separate, stratify, and sanctify the many forms of injustice experienced by members of racialized groups, but one that people routinely reimagine and redeploy to other ends.”
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2358" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PWL-QUOTES-12-e1665699428164-1024x407.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="254" />
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/rY8RkET3KC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video discussing her reasons for writing</a> “Race After Technology,” Benjamin gave an example of how technology is racist. She said, “Two friends [were] using an automated soap dispenser and the soap wouldn’t come out [for] the individual with darker skin because darker skin absorbs light.

Gayle Salamon is a <a href="https://english.princeton.edu/people/gayle-salamon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor of English and Gender and Sexuality Studies</a> at Princeton University. Salamon’s faculty profile says her research interests include phenomenology, feminist philosophy, queer and transgender theory, contemporary Continental philosophy, and disability studies.

In Salamon’s Introductory to Gender and Sexual Studies course, she tackles questions such as: “What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither?” “How do gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge from networks of power and social relations?”

Her published works include two manuscripts, <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Assuming_a_Body/s-idAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=assuming+a+body&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Assuming a Body: Transgender and Rhetorics of Materiality,”</a>  and<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Life_and_Death_of_Latisha_King/bb84DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=the+life+and+death+of+latisha+king&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “The Life and Death of Latisha King: A Critical Phenomenology of Transphobia."</a> She also published a peer-reviewed article titled <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Meontology-of-Masculinity%3A-Notes-on-Castration-Salamon/3784451626c47802e5acd00654de96bf5a7f8222#paper-header" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Meontology of Masculinity: Notes on Castration Elation</a>. (Meontology is the philosophical study of non-being.)

In the Meontology of Masculinity abstract, Salamon cites LGBT “scholars” and says, “Gender is a matter of behavior, but also a result of ‘the more subtle channels of posture, carriage, gaze, and manner of leaning into some (more masculine) things away from other (more feminine) things.’ [Gender scholars] call for a phenomenology of lived gender experiences, to do justice to the variety of ways in which gender can be experienced and also perceived.”

In a <a href="https://thecriticallede.com/066-interview-with-gayle-salamon-author-of-assuming-a-body/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2012 podcast interview with The Critical Lede,</a> Salamon discussed her book “Assuming a Body.” In thinking about the idea of “a man trapped in a woman’s body, and a woman trapped in a man’s body,” she said, “I keep looking for a book that was going to engage both of those things at the same time…My hope was to try to bring together some of the ideas about how we come to inhabit our bodies [and] what is the relationship between the body that everybody else in the world sees and the body that I feel myself to have.”

Dr. Falk has labeled Israel a racist, apartheid state that’s committing an ongoing genocide. 

The term “apartheid” refers to the legal system of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/apartheid/Opposition-to-apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racial discrimination and separation in South Africa</a> from the 1950s to 1994. He has further alleged the true identity of the 9/11 hijackers has been covered up and blamed Israel for terrorist attacks in America. 

In an article titled, “<a href="http://www.oldsite.transnational.org/Area_MiddleEast/2007/Falk_PalestineGenocide.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slouching toward a Palestinian Holocaust</a>,” Falk compares Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the extermination of the Jews in the Holocaust. He claims that Israel’s actions are “morally far worse” than the genocides committed in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

Further in the article, Falk defends the terrorist organization Hamas as the duly elected representative of the Palestinian people. He claims the group has renounced violence and is willing to make peace with Israel. 

During a separate interview with DemocracyNow!, Falk praised the group for its “spirit of resistance” and again claimed that Hamas seeks “peaceful, co-existence with Israel.”

An Islamist terrorist group, Hamas’s charter calls for the <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews:</a>
“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors.” - Hamas Charter
The organization is known to <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploy suicide bombers</a> and <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire rockets</a> that target civilian areas; Hamas is responsible for the deaths of <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>. 

Despite his views, Dr. Falk was chosen by the United Nations to serve as the Special Rapporteur on Palestinian Human Rights. From this position, he accused Israel of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in a report titled,”<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170316054753/https://www.unescwa.org/sites/www.unescwa.org/files/publications/files/israeli-practices-palestinian-people-apartheid-occupation-english.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Israeli Practices toward the Palestinian People and the Question of Apartheid.</a>” 

The report maligns Israel as a “racial state” that pursues “racial domination” and forcible displacement of the Palestinians. Falk recommends that Israel be investigated by the International Criminal Court and that international governments hold unilateral trials for Israeli officials. 

He urges businesses to boycott the state as part of the BDS campaign. BDS—short for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions—embraces the following three tenets as a feature of the campaign: 

- Boycotting all goods that originate from the state of Israel;

- Divesting all funds (private or public) that are allocated to Israel; and

- Placing sanctions exclusively on Israel. 

Following the publication of the document, Dr. Falk doubled down on his stance in an interview with The Forward, further calling for the <a href="https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/164986/richard-falk-calls-for-corporate-israel-boycott/#ixzz2APbfkSvl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boycott of any company</a> that does business in Israel:
“My main recommendation is that the businesses highlighted in the report – as well as the many other businesses that are profiting from the Israeli settlement enterprise – should be boycotted until they bring their operations into line with international human rights and humanitarian law and standards.” 
Elsewhere, Dr. Falk has <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/un-anti-israel-bias-richard-falk-pro-iran-9-11-truther-investigates-jewish-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disputed that Al-Qaeda is solely responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks</a>. In an interview on the site, Truth Jihad, he endorsed the idea the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/special-rapporteur-for-911-truth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highjackings might have been a false-flag operation</a>. He further authored a blog post, “<a href="https://richardfalk.org/2013/04/19/a-commentary-on-the-marathon-murders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Commentary on the Marathon Murders</a>,” that blamed the Boston Bombings on the foreign policy of DC and Tel Aviv. 

Due to his views, Dr. Falk was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/dec/19/israel-palestinian-territories-united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned from Israel in 2008</a>. Although officially retired from teaching, he still holds the position of professor emeritus at Princeton.

His personal biography webpage states,

“Since his arrival in NYC, Nunez has supported and worked for different social causes, groups, and organizations for the rights of undocumented, disabled, indigenous, and LGBT+ people. He has been the Manager of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility for Dance/NYC…[and was] a core member of the Artists of Color Council at Movement Research.”

“Nunez [is the] Founder of the Accessibility Advisory Team (AAT), a group of disabled artists who advise Movement Research on accessibility and inclusion practices through its various departments and platform.”

Nunez teaches a course called “<a href="https://arts.princeton.edu/courses/introduction-to-radical-access-disability-justice-in-the-arts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduction to Radical Access: Disability Justice in the Arts.</a>”  The class introduction says, “Disability is front and center in a global social justice revolution…This course invites all artists, from choreographers to theater makers, filmmakers, visual artists, writers, and composers to immerse in a highly collaborative, improvisational, experimental and inclusive community to explore Disability Justice…”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/princeton-agender-and-neurodivergent-performer-flaunts-disability-and-anti-technique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reports</a>, “The ‘Intro to Radical Access’ Princeton Dance program and Program for Community Engaged Scholarship hosted [a] ‘anti-technique’ performance.” However, Catholic students were moved to pray against evil spirits after attending the controversial dance performance that featured Nunez and two other "disabled" artists.

Gabrie’l Atchison is the instructor for AAS 220/GSS 229: Body Politics: Black Queer Visibility and Representation at Princeton University. The <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1234&amp;courseid=016604" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class description</a> states that the curriculum will “examine Black LGBTQ+ representation across various media including documentaries, television, social media, and literature.”

Atchison’s profile — which can only be found on the class description page — also shows her research “includes gender-based environmental violence, environmental racism/justice, ecofeminism, feminist/queer theology…Black church history…and African American women’s literary criticism.” 

Atchison contributes to a blog called <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anti-Racist Devotional</a>. On <a href="https://www.antiracistdevotional.org/dr-gabriel-atchison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atchison’s About page</a> she describes herself as a “Black Feminist theologian” and the Congregational Development Director at Trinity Episcopal Church who researches “the role of the church in the racial identity development of Black Episcopalians.”

In her book titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6GQR4FJ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0?asin=B0B6GQR4FJ&amp;revisionId=ca68030b&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Are You the Unchurched?: How to Develop an Authentic Relationship with God inside or outside the Church</a>,” Atchison remarked on survey results from a Christian research institute. She said,

“Overwhelmingly, young adults who were studied named hostility toward [LGBTQ+] people as the reason they do not attend church…Based on my understanding of the research, the unchurched are Christians who are:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">College-educated</li>

</ul>
In the opening paragraph of Atchison’s 2020 blog entry “<a href="https://gabrieljatchison.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/the-folly-of-hope/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Folly of Hope</a>,” she declared,


“Trump exposed all our fault lines due to systemic racism, class exploitation and greed. His initial election and very close re-election should act as a clarion call for us to enact sweeping and lasting social change…”

“Trump has no agenda, but his Puppet Masters do…This election exposed in a raw and unrelenting way, how many people in positions of power feel like people of color simply do not have the right to vote.”

Atchison goes on to identify herself as a “progressive [who finds] Joe Biden significantly inadequate for the task at hand.” She disagrees with any approach Biden may have to unite the nation and she believes the Democratic Party passed up “so many better qualified presidential candidates, with creative ideas…to elect a man whose platform is centrist and apolog[ist].”

<a href="https://history.princeton.edu/people/kevin-m-kruse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Kruse</a> is a Professor of History and the Director of the Center for Collaborative History at Princeton University. His faculty biography says Kruse “studies the political social, and urban/suburban history of 20th-century America.” He’s also “focused on conflicts over race, rights, and religion…[with] particular interests in segregation and the civil rights movement.”

Kruse has published several manuscripts including a 2005 book entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/White-Flight-Atlanta-Conservatism-Politics/dp/0691133867?asin=0691133867&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Flight: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Conservatism.</a>” Kruse introduces the novel by stating,

“This book explores the causes and course of white flight, with Atlanta serving as its vantage point…While many have assumed that white flight was little more than a literal movement of the white population, this book argues that it represented a much more important transformation in the political ideology of those involved.”

He continued,

“Because of their confrontation with the civil rights movement, white southern conservatives were forced to abandon their traditional, populist, and often starkly racist demagoguery and instead craft a new conservatism predicated on a language of rights, freedom, and individualism.”

In June 2022, <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/double-standards-princeton-turns-blind-eye-to-plagiarism-from-woke-professor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Washington Free Beacon</a> featured Kruse in an article titled “Double Standards: Princeton Turns Blind Eye to Plagiarism From Woke Professor.” According to the Beacon, “On December 6, the economic historian Phillip Magness emailed Princeton’s dean of faculty, Gene Jarrett, with evidence that [Kruse] plagiarized several passages of his 2015 book ‘One Nation Under God.’”

Magness cited passages of Kruse’s book as allegedly originating from a New York Times Article that was published in the mid-1960s. The Beacon said, “The university never replied to Magness’s email…and has not announced an investigation of Kruse.”

<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2022/08/kevin-kruse-plagiarism-allegations-academic-princeton-investigation-phillip-magness-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the Daily Princetonian</a>, “Kruse expressed ‘surprise’ at the allegations and attributed the lack of citations in one instance to an inadvertent oversight.” Kruse also allegedly plagiarized a professor in his 2000 Cornell University doctoral thesis. The Princetonian quoted an email response from Kruse stating,

“‘While I indicated my intellectual debts to [author] Prof. Baylor else in the text, endnotes and bibliography of the dissertation, I was surprised to see that there was an instance in the introduction [where] I failed to do so properly.’”

<a href="https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2022/06/27/kevin-kruse-and-the-peak-political-plagiarism-scandal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plagiarism Today said</a>, “Kruse is not your typical alleged plagiarist…Kruse has made a career for himself as an activist that corrects and criticizes right-wing talking points on history.

<a href="https://sociology.princeton.edu/people/frederick-wherry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Wherry</a> is the Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In June 2022, he was named the inaugural vice dean for diversity and inclusion by the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.

Princeton’s Office of Communications <a href="https://www.princeton.edu/news/2022/06/30/wherry-appointed-vice-dean-diversity-and-inclusion-princetons-office-dean-faculty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published Wherry’s appointment</a> in an announcement wherein the university president said, “‘After spending time with Professor Wherry and learning more about the impact and interventions of his scholarship, [and] his profound commitment to educating our students…he struck me as the ideal colleague to augur our efforts in fulfilling the vision of the vice dean for diversity and inclusion.’”

In the same publication, Wherry said,

“‘Diversity and inclusion are critical to our core mission. When our faculty and academic professionals can participate fully in our shared endeavor, we are all able to see problems in new ways, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, making way for innovation.’”

As the Director of the <a href="https://www.dignityanddebt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digntiy and Debt Network</a>, Wherry leads an organization of “experts” who research concepts of “dignity, respect, and fairness” in lending and debt collection. The organization studies debt along racial and socio-economic lines and states one of its goals is “to change the conversation about credit and debt among those measuring financial access and wellness…[b]y developing novel visualizations of dignity and debt…”

Wherry is in favor of canceling student loan debt. He believes borrowers are “victims” while lenders are “perpetrators.”

Wherry participated in a panel discussion called “<a href="https://youtu.be/DP7SK_-fXA8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Native Son: Black Gay Leadership Forum</a>” to discuss ideas on wealth creation, social justice, and trauma within communities. When asked about the aspiration of building assets and stronger economic futures among black and gay people, Wherry stated,

“One of the things we have to keep in mind when building assets is that they look different for our community in part because we have a positive effect on our social networks and building assets. People help us out, sometimes we get that ‘white glove treatment’ by virtue of folks who can tell us how to most effectively take advantage of an opportunity when it arises.”

He continued,

“At the same time, we have to be realistic…our social networks also can deplete some of those traditional forms of asset building…When we are providing financial assistance to our kinfolk — when you compare us to our white counterparts, who don’t have the same kinds of requests coming in at the same level of occupation, at the same level of academic achievement — we just have less available for traditional asset-building.”

<a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/people/satyel-larson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Satyel Larson</a> is an Assistant Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Larson’s areas of instruction are “Anthropology,” “Law and society,” “The Maghreb” and “Women, gender and sexuality.” Her faculty profile says:
“Her research and teaching lie at the intersections of law, science, technology and society; women, gender and sexuality; reproduction, health and medicine; Islam and secularism; colonialism, postcolonialism and globality; historical anthropology and epistemology; political economy; and language, discourse and narrative.”
Larson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/princeton-anti-capitalist-class-teaching-black-people-considered-handicapped-systemic-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> for reportedly teaching a course “that claims black people can be considered disabled due to the purported systemic racism they face.” Princeton’s Undergraduate Courses-Fall 2023 <a href="https://nes.princeton.edu/courses">schedule</a> lists Larson as the instructor for “The Healing Humanities: Decolonizing Trauma Studies from the Global South.” The course description says the course:
“Introduces the transdisciplinary field of trauma studies by examining visions of humanity…Reorienting healing as a decolonizing process enables students to re-politicize personal trauma as it intersects with global legacies of violence, war, racism, slavery, patriarchy, colonialism, orientalism, homophobia, ableism, capitalism and extractivism.”

<a href="https://psych.princeton.edu/people/kristina-olson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristina Olson</a> is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. Her faculty profile says:
“I study how children think about social groups, like those based on race and gender. Much of my most recent work has focused on sex and gender-diverse children with ongoing longitudinal projects exploring gender development and well-being in transgender, gender nonconforming and intersex children.”
In 2019, Olson<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1909367116" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> co-authored a study</a> entitled “Similarity in transgender and cisgender children’s gender development.” In the study “Abstract,” Olson, et al. conclude, “Our findings suggest that early sex assignment and parental rearing based on that sex assignment do not always define how a child identifies or expresses gender later.”

The study goes on to state that “young transgender children are different from their cisgender peers in their unique gender socialization experience, having lived part of their childhoods treated as members of one gender (before transitioning) and part of their childhoods treated as members of another gender (after transitioning).”

Olson <a href="https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/150/2/e2021056082/186992/Gender-Identity-5-Years-After-Social-Transition?autologincheck=redirected">co-authored another study</a> on the effects of socially transitioning after five years. The study’s “methods” are based on data from the Trans Youth Project (TYP)—powered by Princeton University’s HUman[sic] Diversity Lab. The Lab reported data on 208 transgender girls and 109 transgender boys between ages 3 and 12 who had “made a ‘complete’ binary social transition.”

Notably, Olson is listed as the director of the HUman Diversity Lab <a href="https://hudl.princeton.edu/people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the “People” page</a>. 

In the study “Gender Identity 5 Years After Social Transition,” Olson, et al. wrote:
“As part of the larger longitudinal study, parents and youth were regularly asked about whether they had begun using puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones…they were not asked about whether puberty had begun, though our available data suggests that…most participants were followed by an endocrinologist well before puberty began.”
In a discussion of the study’s findings, Olson, et al. concluded that “Five years after an initial binary social transition, 7% of youth had retransitioned at least once…Among those who had begun puberty blockers and/or gender-affirming hormones, only 1 had transitioned to live as cisgender…” 

However, Olson et al. admit in the study that they “did not assess whether participants met criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth edition, diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children” and further stated that “many parents did not believe such diagnoses were either ethical or useful…”

Olson told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/04/health/transgender-children-identity.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>:
“There’s this sort of idea that the kids are going to start [transitioning] and that they’re going to change their minds…And at least in our sample, we’re not finding that.”

<a href="https://aas.princeton.edu/people/eddie-s-glaude-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eddie Glaude Jr.</a> is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. In April 2023, Glaude <a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/04/african-american-studies-department-princeton-university-glaude-eddie-stepping-down-chair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he would step down from his position as chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton.

Glaude is the author of several race-focused publications, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Black-Still-Enslaves-American/dp/1522634940?asin=0804137439&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including a book</a> entitled, “Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul.” In the introduction, Glaude wrote:
“This book details what I call the Great Black Depression, and shows how the current rhetoric of economic recovery does not include the majority of black communities in this country. It challenges the pervasive silence about the crisis in black communities and puts forward an idea of American democracy shorn of its racist baggage.”
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Exodus-Religion-Nation-Nineteenth-Century-America/dp/0226298205/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1AHS2LRZ49TN3&amp;keywords=Exodus%21+Religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+Early+19th+century+black+america&amp;qid=1707509859&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=exodus+religion%2C+race+and+nation+in+early+19th+century+black+america%2Cstripbooks%2C121&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=0226298205&amp;revisionId=&amp;format=4&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In his novel</a> titled “Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation In Early 19th Century Black America,” Glaude compares the plight of African Americans to biblical accounts of Jews gaining freedom from slavery in Egypt. Glaude said his rendition explores “the ways the story became a source for a particular use of nation language among African Americans as well as a metaphorical framework for understanding the middle passage, enslavement, and quests for emancipation.”

The heated discussion, which took place over Twitter, included Glaude calling Rufo’s work “insidious” and labeling Rufo a racist.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Princeton professor calls my support for colorblind equality “venomous” and “insidious.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Glaude also tweeted his thoughts after SCOTUS overturned affirmative action in June 2023.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Imagine this: my mother and father couldn’t attend Princeton or Ole Miss (I group in Mississippi), because of long-standing discriminatory practices. The civil rights movement happens. Doors are opened. Colleges and universities are somewhat integrated 1/

His profile further states the nature of his research:
“From chasing monkeys in jungles and cities, to exploring the lives of our evolutionary ancestors, to examining human health, behavior, and diversity across the globe, Professor Fuentes is interested in both the big questions and the small details of what makes humans and our close relations tick.”
In April 2024, Fuentes signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester.

“There are those, politicians, pundits and even a few scientists, who maintain that whether our bodies make ova or sperm are all we need to know about sex. They assert that men and women are defined by their production of these gamete cells, making them a distinct biological binary pair, and that our legal rights and social possibilities should flow from this divide.” 
Fuentes argued that this is “bad science” and that people who believe legal and policy decisions should be made based on sex “are arguing for a specific political, and discriminatory, definition of what is ‘natural’ and ‘right’ for humans based on a false representation of biology.” He went on to claim: 
“Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.” 
“Today dishonest ascriptions of what biology is are being deployed to restrict women’s bodily autonomy, target LGBTQIA+ individuals broadly and, most recently, attack the rights of transexual and transgender people.” 
Fuentes concluded his opinion piece: 
“Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

“President Shafik falsely claimed that the students who were arrested for protesting on April 18 posed a ‘clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University,’ when in fact they ‘were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,’ according to the NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell. Her actions have endangered these students’ welfare, and her draconian and disproportionate punishments have endangered their futures.”

According to her university profile, Callahan’s “research examines many different features of plants — from roots to flowers to seeds.”

Callahan participated in a Columbia University and Barnard College faculty protest titled “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University” after student protesters took over the lawns of Columbia University. The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/us-news/columbia-professors-slammed-over-grotesque-rally-that-publicly-backed-ivy-league-schools-anti-israel-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported, “Scores of professors and staff appeared on the school’s steps to support the right of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ to take over campus space and denounce the administration’s decision to have protesters arrested.” 

Callahan spoke at the walkout and compared the student protests to the Scopes Trial in 1924. During the Scopes Trial, an elementary school teacher was tried for teaching evolution at a school in Dayton, Tennessee. According to <a href="https://bwog.com/2024/04/student-workers-and-faculty-hold-walkouts-to-demand-amnesty-for-students-and-faculty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BWOG</a>, “Callahan called the historical event an ‘emblem of how wrong it is to treat teachers as pawns and scapegoats,’” and connected it to the response of Columbia University to the protestation of its pro-Palestine faculty and students. 

Callahan then addressed the crowd with certain demands:
 “We insist on science and factual evidence… on delineating the boundaries between certainty and uncertainty…on honest, open, and difficult discourse,” discourse she claimed were “pathways to a more humane world.” 
Callahan described the university’s response to the protests and encampment as “intemperate and regrettable.” She said her and her associates would “work tirelessly to undo that error.”

In April 2024, Levy signed a “<a href="https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/04/princeton-opinion-opguest-faculty-staff-solidarity-palestine-protestors-columbia-barnard-encampment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Statement of solidarity with Columbia University students from Princeton faculty and staff</a>.” The statement came after student protestors established a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” on the lawns of Columbia University, disrupting campus operations, sparking safety concerns, and causing classes to be <a href="https://www.tpusa.com/live/columbia-university-moves-classes-online-as-pro-palestine-protests-spark-safety-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">held remotely</a> for the remainder of the semester. 

The statement begins: 
“We, Princeton University faculty and staff, affirm our solidarity with and support for the Columbia University and Barnard College students who are continuing to demand that the university divest from Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ongoing occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other Palestinian land.” 
The signatories have committed to boycotting Columbia University and Barnard College until several demands are met, including: 
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to reinstate those students who were wrongfully suspended for exercising their constitutionally recognized right to speech and peaceful assembly.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We demand that all charges be dismissed and expunged from their student records, and that all rights and privileges be restored to them immediately.” </li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“We call upon the Columbia University administration to remove the New York City Police Department from campus. All criminal charges that have been brought against student protestors who were arrested by the NYPD at the behest of the university administration should be dropped immediately.” </li>
</ul>
The faculty and staff have also called for the university to reverse the suspension of two student groups, Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia Jewish Voice for Peace. They concluded their statement with the following: 
“We vow to withhold our academic labor from Columbia and Barnard, not to participate in conferences and other campus events, and not to collaborate with university institutions until such time as the administration has met these demands and demonstrated its commitments to upholding the well-established norms of unrestricted scholarly inquiry and academic freedom.”

<a href="https://soa.princeton.edu/content/s.e.-eisterer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S.E. Eisterer</a> is an Assistant Professor of Architecture and Co-Director, Program in Media and Modernity at Princeton University. 

According to her faculty profile, Eisterer’s “research focuses on spatial histories of dissidence, feminist, queer, and trans* theory in architecture, as well as the labor of social and ecological movements.”

For the current Princeton spring semester, Eisterer is teaching a <a href="https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?courseid=017728&amp;term=1254" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course</a> titled “Queer Spaces in the World.” 

The course description asks a series of questions about architecture, and proposes gender theory as a way of interpreting architectural spaces: 

“How do sources determine the histories we can tell about architecture, urban space, and the agents that enliven it? How do we reconcile seeming absences and actual acts of erasure that stare back at us from the archive? How can feminist, gender, queer and trans* theory help us chart new avenues for writing critical architectural histories that are attentive to discourses of difference but also narratives of equity?" 

The course further seeks to discover groups and institutions of resistance towards dominant regimes and philosophies: 

“Which methods, beyond conventional modes of architectural inquiry, can we employ to uncover histories of groups and institutions that have actively resisted dominant regimes of power and their corresponding systems of knowledge?”

Eisterer contributes to an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/queerspaceworkinggroup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> titled “queerspaceworkinggroup.” The page is described as a “transnational group of queer scholars &amp; architects 🏳️‍🌈 themed &amp; informal conversations about queer space(s).”

The page displays a focus on “queerifying” [sic] architectural spaces. (See image below from Instagram).

<a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/shahid-alam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Shahid Alam</a> is a professor of economics at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. After immigrating to the United States from Pakistan, Dr. Alam began working for Northeastern in 1988 where he serves as the academic advisor for the group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).
Infamous for sympathy towards Islamic terrorism in his work, Dr. Alam has authored pieces justifying suicide bombers, compared the 9/11 highjackers to America’s founding fathers, and repeated antisemitic libels while supporting the BDS movement.
BDS—which stands for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions—is an international movement with a singular focus on boycotting, divesting, and levying sanctions against the world’s sole Jewish state. The movement’s co-founder—Omar Barghouti has admitted that once <a href="https://www.israellycool.com/2020/06/02/watch-bds-co-founder-omar-barghouti-admits-their-goal-is-destruction-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">these planks are implemented, they will destroy Israel</a>.
In a piece for the site, CounterPunch, Dr. Alam pens a <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full-throated defense of BDS</a> as a necessary tactic to confront Israel. While characterizing the Jewish state as not a “normal country,” he falsely accuses Israel of constructing an “apartheid state” to commit genocide against Arabs.
Dr. Alam uses his accusation as justification for <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/07/29/the-academic-boycott-of-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">then-ongoing waves of suicide bombers in Israel</a>, writing, “dispossession is implemented by force-unless this project is aided by pathogens; and, it follows, that resistance to the colonizer must be violent.”
An “intifada”—Arabic for “uprising”—refers to a series of Palestinian insurrections within Israel. From 2000-2005, the Second Intifada—known as the <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/background-and-overview-of-al-aqsa-intifada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Al-Aqsa Intifada</a>,”—claimed over 1,100 lives. During this period, terrorist groups like Hamas deployed <a href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/comprehensive-listing-of-terrorism-victims-in-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suicide bombers and gunmen to target civilians in crowded areas to maximize casualties</a>.
In a separate piece, Dr. Alam again praises suicide bombers, <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/03/thomas-friedman-s-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing that they seek to become martyrs in order to bring “honor” to their nation:</a>
“The Oxford English dictionary defines a suicide as “one who dies by his own hand.” This definition is clearly inadequate. In the absence of a motive, we cannot distinguish between (i) a person who takes his life because he wants to die and (ii) a person who takes his life because this will save her soul-or her honor, her family, her friends, her community, or her country. The first suggests suicide; the latter is ordinarily regarded as a martyr. Judge for yourself then whether the Palestinians are suicides or martyrs.” 
This is not a solitary instance of which Dr. Alam has sought to justify Islamic terrorism. In an article from 2004, he <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2004/12/29/seeking-parallels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compared the 9/11 hijackers to America’s Founding Fathers</a>. 
“The colonists had a dream worth pursuing. They were prepared to die for this dream ­and to kill. They did: and they won…On September 11, 2001, nineteen Arab hijackers too demonstrated their willingness to die — and to kill — for what they believed was their dream. They died — so they thought — because they wanted their people to live, free and in dignity.” 
The prior year, Dr. Alam wrote that <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/01/02/why-9-11-and-why-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the attacks themselves were not in any way unique, and in fact, paled in comparison to the atrocities committed by the United States</a>.
“[The 9/11]  attacks pales into insignificance when compared to the worst terrorist acts perpetrated by states, not excluding United States, over the past five-hundred years.”
In further articles, Dr. Alam depicts Jews in explicit, antisemitic terms. He accuses Jews of using their religion to justify genocide, manipulating the media, possessing dual loyalty, citing the Holocaust for sympathy, and directing America to launch foreign wars on Israel’s behalf:
&#8211; One article for CounterPunch decries <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/04/05/israelization-of-the-united-states/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Jewish money” swaying elections on behalf of Israel.</a>
&#8211; Another piece <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2009/08/21/zionism-an-quot-abnormal-quot-nationalism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of seeking to “compensate” for the absence of a messiah</a> by launching a colonial, genocidal project in Palestine with the assistance of American Christians.
&#8211; One accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2010/12/07/unvarnished-truths-about-the-us-and-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish organizations of policing and directing the media to proliferate “Israeli lies.”</a>
&#8211; Dr. Alam’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0230614841/thewisdomfund?pldnSite=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli Exceptionalism</a>, accuses <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/zionisms-destabilizing-force-israeli-exceptionalism-reviewed/3569" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews and Zionists of partnering with the Nazis</a> prior to World War 2.
&#8211; The same book describes <a href="http://www.twf.org/News/Y2010/0623-Review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neoconservatives as a “mostly Jewish elite” who shape America’s institutions for Israel’s benefit</a>.
&#8211; Yet another article accuses <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2003/02/19/israel-s-proxy-war/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Jews and Israel of directing the United States to invade Iraq</a> to distract the world from their alleged genocide of the Palestinians.
&#8211; Dr. Alam goes so far as to accuse <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2002/04/18/a-colonizing-project-built-on-lies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jews of weaponizing the Holocaust</a> to elicit sympathy and distract the world from their own human rights abuses.
&#8211; In an op-ed for the Egyptian state-owned newspaper Al-Ahram, Dr. Alam <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070601183749/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2007/846/op5.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accuses Jews of using their Judaism—or what he mocks as their “chosenness” by God—to excuse racism and ethnically cleanse Palestine</a>.
Rather than hide or justify his views, Dr. Alam seems delighted by accusations of antisemitism. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Alam can be heard advising students to wear allegations of antisemitism “as a badge of honor.”

Northeastern University

Dr. <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/bio/denis-sullivan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denis Sullivan</a> is a Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at <a href="https://www.northeastern.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern University</a> in Boston, Massachusetts. He additionally serves as the co-Director of the <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/middle-east/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Middle East Center</a>, a branch of <a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/internationalcenter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern’s International Center</a>. Dr. Sullivan is known for including anti-Israel elements into his curriculum, and for his defense of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Founded as the offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Gaza Strip, Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. The organization’s <a href="https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews</a>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1890" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-2021-11-30T123137.664-e1638300714181-1024x366.png" alt="" width="500" height="179" />

The group has ruled the Gaza strip since 2005 and explicitly targets Israeli civilians while using its own <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/183750" target="_blank" rel="noopener">citizens as human shields during military operations</a>. <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/05/prelude-to-war-palestinian-terrorists-fire-hundreds-of-rockets-at-israel-from-and-to-civilian-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas regularly fires rockets</a> and <a href="https://palwatch.org/page/18217" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directs suicide bombers into crowded areas</a>. The organization is <a href="https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2021/05/26/faq-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responsible for the death of thousands of Israelis and at least 25 Americans</a>.

In a lecture dated to 2009, Denis Sullivan can be heard <a href="https://vimeo.com/127604352" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trivializing Hamas atrocities during a lecture about foreign relations with Israel</a>. In the clip, captured by the organization <a href="https://canarymission.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canary Mission</a>, Dr. Sullivan begrudgingly admits that Hamas is a terrorist organization, but proceeds to praise them for having “great healthcare and kindergartens."

[video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sullivan-Hamas-does-great-healthcare.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

Further in the same lecture, while discussing peace negotiations, Dr. Sullivan claims that it’s irrelevant that Hamas will not recognize the right of Israel to exist.

[video width="960" height="540" mp4="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Sulivan-Hamas-wont-recognize-Israel-.mp4"][/video]

&nbsp;

According to reports from the group <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT)</a>, Dr. Sullivan <a href="https://www.peaceandtolerance.org/2014/02/26/northeastern-universitys-islamists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regularly assigns extreme anti-Israel materials in his class</a>. One text is, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/233020/the-holocaust-industry-by-norman-g-finkelstein/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Holocaust Industry</a>,” by author and former professor, Norman Finkelstein. The book alleges that Israel uses the Holocaust to shield itself from criticism when committing war crimes on par with that of the Nazis.

“The Holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through its deployment, one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a “victim” state, and the most successful ethnic group in the US has likewise acquired victim status.” - Norman Finkelstein, The Holocaust Industry

Another assigned text is titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-Cleansing-Palestine-Ilan-Pappe/dp/1851685553" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine</a>'' by IIan Pappe. The book falsely charges Israel with committing mass genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region’s Arabs during the nation’s founding.

Dr. Sullivan has directed numerous university-sponsored trips to introduce students to meet Syrian and Egyptian officials. As APT has documented, his students met with at least one Egyptian minister <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9mmOilcDA4&amp;ab_channel=apeacet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who believes in the antisemitic conspiracy that Jews manipulate and control the world economy</a>.

In addition to his duties in the Middle East Center, his biography lists him as a member of the organization, “Human Rights Watch.” The group has been <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/experts-slam-human-rights-watch-for-biased-and-inaccurate-report-accusing-israel-of-apartheid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused by a number of watchdog organizations of publishing slanted and falsified information about Israel</a>. The organization has become so maligned, that its founder, Robert Bernstein, once lambasted his organization for <a href="https://archive.ph/b1E3q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focusing its efforts solely on Israel while ignoring actual authoritarian regimes</a>.

Rather than hide or justify his views, Dr. Alam seems delighted by accusations of antisemitism. In a leaked lecture, Dr. Alam can be heard advising students to wear allegations of antisemitism “as a badge of honor.”

<a href="https://cssh.northeastern.edu/faculty/james-fox/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Alan Fox</a> is the Lipman Family Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy at Northeastern University. 

According to his university profile, Fox “has published 18 books, dozens of journal and magazine articles, and hundreds of freelance columns in newspapers around the country, primarily in the areas of mass murder, serial murder youth crime, school and campus violence, workplace violence, and capital punishment.”

Fox was featured in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240714040128/https:/news.northeastern.edu/2024/07/13/donald-trump-shooting-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northeastern News Service</a> article about the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump. Much of Fox’s commentary emphasized gun control measures. The professor implied how the lack of such measures may be the cause of the attempt. According to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article/northeastern-university-prof-said-trump-assassination-attempt-help-republicans-reconsider-gun-control/25893" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, the following quote from Fox was removed from the article:

“The Republican party has been rather reluctant to back sensible gun control measures. Their party leader has been shot. Fortunately, he didn’t get mortally wounded, but it certainly should help them reconsider some of their stances on sensible gun safety measures.” 
Fox even made the following statement to Campus Reform, echoing the statements he previously made on gun control measures. He alluded to the relevance of <a href="https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/brady-law" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brady Law</a>, a gun control measure enacted after the assassination attempt on a newly elected President Ronald Reagan in 1981: 
“As to whether it is an appropriate issue to raise, the assassination attempt on Reagan and the severe injury to his aide James Brady eventually inspired a significant gun control measure (Brady Law). Besides, the assassination attempt on Trump was a shooting, and so raising the issue of gun control is clearly relevant. Republicans are entrenched in their pro-gun stance. I would welcome but not expect some movement.”

<a href="https://divinity.wfu.edu/academics/faculty/jonathan-l-walton/">Dr. Jonathan L. Walton</a>, Dean of the School of Divinity at Wake Forest University and formerly of Harvard University, called the NRA a "domestic terrorist organization". In a sermon on campus after the Las Vegas mass shooting, Walton, who has a Ph.D. in religion and society from Princeton, blamed "Our cultural anxiety, toxic masculinity, and racial, religious, and ethnic bigotries [for] eating away at the soul of this nation," Walton later calls President Donald Trump a "Madman" who "embodies the worst aspects of our country's cultural disease."

<a href="https://english.wfu.edu/about-us-2/faculty/laura-mullen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laura Mullen</a> is the Kenan Chair of Humanities in the English Department at Wake Forest University.

After the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack against Israel, Mullen tweeted:

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3241" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-01-at-2.19.11-PM-1024x788.png" alt="" width="640" height="493" />

Mullen told the <a href="https://wfuogb.com/21685/news/professor-faces-backlash-threats-after-social-media-post/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Old Black &amp; Gold</a> that the post came from her training as a poet, saying:
“The imagination that went into the post is the imagination that I felt like the world…was not at that moment holding. I still would say, overwhelmingly, it seems like we could use more of that imagination.” 
Mullen—after receiving national criticism—defended her post, saying it was meant to explain how the violence could happen rather than condone Hamas’s actions. She said, “What concerns me the most in the reaction to the post is the confusion between the attempt to understand human beings and ‘the condoning of violence.’ The post did not condone violence.”

On October 17, 2023, Wake Forest University President Susan Wente and Provost Michele Gillespie <a href="https://outreach.wfu.edu/israel-palestine/university-addresses-recent-social-media-posts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a statement</a> in response to the tweet that reads, in part:
“The posted comments caused significant anxiety and fear for members of our community. We take such matters very seriously. We do not condone or support the views expressed in these posts. As a matter of principle, we affirm the right to individual freedom of expression. And, to be clear: statements that diminish the value and dignity of human life or condone the use of violence are counter to the values inherent in the Pro Humanitate ethos of Wake Forest University.” 
Although the university did not terminate or discipline Mullen for her comments, she believes she was treated unfairly by their statement. She told <a href="https://thewakereport.com/wake-professor-who-justified-terrorism-in-israel-says-the-administration-threw-her-to-the-wolves/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wake Report</a>, “[The University statement] is like if you watch animal films and you isolate one gazelle, that’s the one that gets eaten. They kind of threw me to the wolves.”

On October 19, 2023, after a week of backlash, Mullen deleted the tweet. Shortly after, she <a href="https://wfuogb.com/21837/news/breaking-laura-mullen-resigns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced she was resigning</a> for “personal reasons.” Mullen plans to continue teaching her classes for the Fall 2023 semester but said she would not be returning in Spring 2024.

Harvard University

<a href="https://www.gse.harvard.edu/directory/faculty/danielle-allen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Danielle Allen</a> is a Professor of Government at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Allen’s profile says “she is Founder and President for Partners In Democracy, where she continues to advocate for democracy reform to create greater voice and access in our democracy and drive progress towards a new social contract that serves and includes us all.”

In 2016, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/moment-of-truth-we-must-stop-trump/2016/02/21/0172e788-d8a7-11e5-925f-1d10062cc82d_story.html">published an opinion editorial</a> authored by Allen. She titled the piece “The Moment of Truth: We Must Stop Trump.” She starts the article by stating:
“Like any number of us raised in the late 20th century, I have spent my life perplexed about exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany. Watching Donald Trump’s rise, I now understand. Leave aside whether a direct comparison of Trump to Hitler is accurate. That is not my point. My point rather is about how a demagogic opportunist can exploit a divided country.”
She further parallels former President Trump and Hitler, writing:
“To understand the rise of Hitler and the spread of Nazism, I have generally relied on the German-Jewish  émigré philosopher <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0142437565/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0142437565&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thewaspos09-20&amp;linkId=PQAKLU5NRJOETRXB%22%3EThe%20Portable%20Hannah%20Arendt%20(Penguin%20Classics)%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thewaspos09-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0142437565" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hannah Arendt</a> and her arguments about the banality of evil. Somehow people can understand themselves as ‘just doing their job,’ yet act as cogs in the wheel of a murderous machine.”

Allen was <a href="https://www.browndailyherald.com/article/2024/03/harvard-kennedy-professor-danielle-allen-discusses-justice-democracy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured in an article</a> in The Brown Daily Herald wherein the author covered a speaking engagement connected to the release of Allen’s book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Means-Democracy-Danielle-Allen-ebook/dp/B0BVC2FX2S/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VqxGd4owAqzRflOXiBODXN17y4JJUJ1SVHYoRKSEDi6q-l886siA49NkC9H1kQpqVTCFXCSP_tdMncZOaeI8qZRoOQSHNELNFHZcBBT7HIHiT1vCs5-ECUpnUkPX8MrgUwMYyWF99EapLhAECkgLZTSghDVrj8oaZbf6drUcWGl3zoSJputR0fYZybjA7eJTxgZ6VHZUCs4sELHMdEbmsJXcA3rlY8ymu77DAiOkKPg.jTBse05m42CEISz-twypjIyY7S93TNNoT9Q_KLXmonU&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;gad_source=1&amp;hvadid=693980244929&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvexpln=67&amp;hvlocphy=9061155&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvocijid=15248354058227898116--&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=15248354058227898116&amp;hvtargid=kwd-1965987004000&amp;hydadcr=22158_13517514&amp;keywords=justice+by+means+of+democracy&amp;qid=1722025745&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B0BVC2FX2S&amp;revisionId=f2ca3fa9&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justice by Means of Democracy</a>.” The writer said, “Allen argued that American democracy has prioritized negative liberties over positive ones for too long, resulting in those with power ‘not listening to the people who are affected by policies’ being enacted.”

In the book, Allen asked, “What is the relationship between political economy, political philosophy, and a theory of justice?” She then states:
“As economic theorists from <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Adam-Smith/The-Theory-of-Moral-Sentiments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Smith</a> to <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Karl-Marx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karl Marx</a> to <a href="https://www.britannica.com/money/John-Maynard-Keynes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Maynard Keynes</a> to <a href="https://www.britannica.com/money/F-A-Hayek" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friedrich Hayek</a> have recognized, any given economic system is built out of a set of underlying rules of human interaction … All recognized that the rules of the game structuring human interaction and those generating particular forms of economy embodied distinctive sets of social ideals and could be redesigned.” 
She also <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/4/26/allen-permissible-free-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote an article</a> contrasting “academic freedom” with “free expression.” She said, “Harvard’s values statement contains two guidelines that help distinguish between good and bad speech … Scholarly standards and longstanding norms from the art of rhetoric make concrete how to live by these values.”

<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/mark-tushnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Tushnet</a> is a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. According to Tushnet’s faculty profile his research interest “includes students of constitutional review in the United States and around the world and the creation of other ‘institutions for protecting constitutional democracy.’”

In May 2016, the <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/10/harvard-professor-start-treating-christians-nazis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Times</a> featured Tushnet in an article titled “Harvard professor: Start treating Christian conservatives like Nazis.” The Times said: 
“Mr. Tushnet said liberals should stop being so hesitant to advance their agenda through the judiciary, saying a majority of federal judges have been appointed by Democrat presidents, and they need not worry ‘reversal by the Supreme Court now that former Associate Justice Antonin Scalia is dead.”
Tushnet wrote a <a href="https://balkin.blogspot.com/2016/05/abandoning-defensive-crouch-liberal.html">blog post</a> that same year where he challenged readers to “abandon defensive-crouch liberalism” and to “aggressively exploit the ambiguities and loopholes in unfavorable precedents that aren’t worth overruling.” 

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-3140" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/PWL-QUOTES-1-e1694464755411-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="425" />

On August 1, 2023, <a href="https://campusreform.org/article?id=23715" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform reported</a> that Tushnet sent an open letter to the Biden Administration wherein he “labeled the [SCOTUS] conservative majority as ‘MAGA justices,’ implying the judges have a political relationship to former President Donald Trump…”

Campus Reform noted how Tushnet “used the recent ruling on affirmative action as an example and proposed that Biden could emphasize that the ruling applies only to certain college institutions, while still vigorously pursuing affirmative action in other contexts…”

<a href="https://balkin.blogspot.com/2023/07/an-open-letter-to-biden-administration.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In the letter</a>, Tushnet states: 
“We do not believe that President Biden should simply ignore every MAGA ruling. The President should act when MAGA justices issue high-stakes rulings that are based on gravely mistaken constitutional interpretations…Such actions could help contain the grave threat posed by MAGA justices.”
He continues:
“In this particular historical moment, MAGA justices pose a grave threat to our most fundamental commitments because they rule consistently to undermine democracy and to curtail fundamental rights, and because many of their rulings are based on misleading and untrue claims.”

Dr. Michelle Morse is an internal medicine and public health doctor who, according to her <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-morse-251a0ba1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn</a> biography, “works to achieve health equity through global solidarity, social medicine and anti-racism education, and activism.” Her <a href="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faculty biography</a> describes her position as “an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women's Hospital and co-founder of the EqualHealth and Social Medicine Consortium.”

Morse has several, notable publications, including “<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33640157/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reparations for Black American descendants of persons enslaved in the U.S. and their potential impact on SARS-CoV-2 transmission,</a>” and “<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-health-forum/fullarticle/2789583" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Act Upon Racism- not Race- as a Risk Factor</a>.” The former publication, regarding reparations, made the claim that the United States should pursue racial-justice interventions, including reparations payments, to ameliorate racial disparities that originated through COVID-19.

According to a report by <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=23630" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Campus Reform</a>, Morse was featured as a keynote speaker for a medical residency graduation ceremony. <a href="https://onebrooklynhealth.org/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One Brooklyn Health</a>, a New York-based network of hospitals, held its ceremony on June 7, 2023, that included Dr. Michelle Morse as the keynote speaker for the second consecutive year.

Morse began her speech by mentioning contributors to what she called “scary times,” including:

“Misinformation about what is contained in COVID vaccines, misinformation about the ways public school teachers instruct students about our country’s violent founding and enslavement, settler colonialism, patriarchy, structural racism, or what really happened on January 6.”

She recalled her experiences during the AIDS epidemic and how it motivated her to become an “even more radicalized student activist,” and that she returned to the United States to “do more direct activism for social justice during residency.” Within the speech, she also asserted that “the current state of our country is unfair and unjust towards people of color, period.”

After the speech, a graduate attendee shared some thoughts with a Campus Reform reporter, saying that many students are discontent with the rise of woke ideology in the medical field, but are afraid to speak up because they feel as though they are “slaves to debt,” and cannot afford to risk losing their jobs by speaking out.

<a href="https://ghsm.hms.harvard.edu/faculty-staff/michelle-evelyn-morse">Michelle Evelyn Morse</a>, M.D. is a Instructor of Medicine and an Affiliate in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University.  She is also co-founder of the <a href="http://www.socialmedicineconsortium.org/campaign-against-racism/">Campaign Against Racism</a>, which describes itself as an organization that seeks to “dismantle structural racism and its effects on health around the world.”

In an interview with <a href="https://www.pri.org/stories/2020-06-02/health-care-part-systems-oppression-says-harvard-medicine-professor">The World</a>, Morse outlined what she believes is structural oppression in the healthcare field. She explained how the Coronavirus is exposing divides caused by racism:

“And I think what we're seeing with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on communities of color is that these are the fault lines that have existed for generations. And the sources are the very social arrangement that puts white people on top and black and brown people on the bottom.” 

 Morse has admitted that the long-term goal of her organization is to destroy capitalism, saying, “...the systems of racial capitalism and structural racism that we're trying to impact and upend and break down are going to take much, much longer” 

Morse is also very candid about utilizing the coronavirus pandemic to accomplish her organization’s ambitions of fundamentally transforming the country: 

“We have to seize on this moment. We have to make sure that health workers are not just assumed to be the heroes of COVID-19, that we actually do the work of upending the sources of oppression that have led to these inequities and that we recognize that that takes time and that that takes constant pressure.”

<a href="https://hds.harvard.edu/people/cornel-r-west">Dr. Cornel West</a> is a former Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy at Harvard University and a Professor Emeritus at Princeton University. West is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and has used the organization’s platform to <a href="https://www.dsausa.org/democratic-left/cornel_west_endorses_bernie_sanders/">endorse</a> Bernie Sanders for president.  

West is known for his vocal opposition to Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14389">describing</a> him at a rally for Bernie Sanders as a “neo-fascist gangster.”

West is also notable for his mistrust of the official narrative of 9/11. As <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=5054">reported</a> by Campus Reform, he relayed his suspicion when asked if 9/11 was an inside job during the Million Muslim March in Washington D.C. “At this point, I’m still uncertain. I think there might be a possibility but my hunch is that with Bin Laden’s definitive investment, he must have had something to do with it,” explained West.

Among West’s other peculiar beliefs, he is an avowed socialist that has served as an honorary chair for the DSA. In an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zYAH-BZZTs">interview</a> with Laura Flanders, he praised Karl Marx for having an “indispensable” analysis of America, declaring that American capitalism forces people to live in “wage slavery.” When <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuc6C2_Txmw">challenged</a> by Tucker Carlson for his support of Socialism, most notably for its repeated and abysmal failures, West deflected and accused the US of interfering in preventing the implementation of authentic socialism in places like Venezuela.

Perhaps the most disturbing example of Dr. West’s radical beliefs is his sustained relationship and defense of notorious Nation of Islam (NOI) leader, Louis Farrakhan. 

Farrakhan is noted for his virulent and antisemitic remarks praise of Adolf Hitler made during NOI sermons:
<ul>
 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
 	<li>“The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a VERY great man.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">"...there were many Israeli’s and Zionist Jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">“Satanic Jews have infected the whole world with poison and deceit.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">"The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust.”</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">"The Jews have control over those agencies of government. When you want something in the world, a Jew holds the door."</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;">I'm not an anti-Semite. I'm an anti-Termite.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Despite a bevy of disgusting remarks, Dr. West continues to collaborate with and defend Farrakhan. He most recently <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfC-z80GCSk">appeared</a> with him at an event in Chicago, hosted by PBS, to discuss issues in the black community. Numerous other academics and community leaders were present. His association with Farrakhan goes back decades, as is exhibited in a lecture given at Harvard University where he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KwhXPXjjMw">flouted</a> his agreement with him that white supremacy is ingrained in America. In another lecture,  Dr. West openly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qmuSqlvWE4">admitted</a> that he works with Farrakhan. 

When <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZwhYShH-pE">pressed</a> by Roland Marted about his relationship with Farrakhan, West refused to disavow him. West responded that “people need to stop lying about my brother,” and denied that Farrakhan had ever made anti-Semitic remarks. West went on to praise Farrakhan for his “consistency” on white supremacy.   

Dr. West has also openly embraced ANTIFA. <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2020/6/1/cornel_west_us_moment_of_reckoning">Appearing</a> on Democracy Now!, Dr. West claimed that ANTIFA “saved his life” when protesting in Charlottesville and lambasted the Trump administration's decision to label ANTIFA a terrorist organization:

“...ANTIFA saved my life in Charlottesville. There’s no doubt about it, that they provided the security, you see. So the very notion that they become candidates for a terrorist organization, but the people who were trying to kill us — the Nazis, the Klan — they’re not candidates for terrorist organization status — but that’s what you’re going to get. You’re going to get a Trump-led neofascist backlash and clampdown on what is going on. We ought to be very clear about that. The neofascism has that kind of obsession with militaristic imposition in the face of any kind of disorder. And so we’ve got to be fortified for that.”

Cornel West is a vocal critic of Israel. In 2014 - though aware that terrorist group Hamas was launching thousands of rockets into Israeli civilian areas - he nonetheless <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvFVnRfpj7w&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=281">accused</a> Israel of state-sponsored terrorism and urged “resistance” on behalf of the Palestinians.

<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/directory/10048/Bartholet">Elizabeth Bartholet</a> is the Morris Wasserstein Public Interest Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Child Advocacy Program at Harvard University. Bartholet’s work is primarily centered around child welfare. She <a href="https://bartholet.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/children.pdf">believes</a> that “poverty and social justice are the root causes of most child maltreatment” and that early childhood intervention by social services is needed to prevent abuse. 

Bartholet is a vocal and visceral opponent of home-schooling, describing it as “near-absolute parental power” and “inconsistent” with the human rights of children. In a <a href="https://arizonalawreview.org/pdf/62-1/62arizlrev1.pdf">paper written for the Arizona Law Review</a>, she advocates for an outright ban on homeschooling. Bartholet sees homeschooling as a danger to society, and accuses parents who decide to remove their children from public schools of promoting segregation and misogyny:  

“...parents can now keep their children at home in the name of homeschooling free from any real scrutiny as to whether or how they are educating their children. Many homeschool because they want to isolate their children from ideas and values central to our democracy, determined to keep their children from exposure to views that might enable autonomous choice about their future lives. Many promote racial segregation and female subservience. Many question science. Abusive parents can keep their children at home free from the risk that teachers will report them to child protection services. Some homeschool precisely for this reason.”

Bartholet repeats and expands on her position, claiming that homeschooling may lead to child abuse: 

“Parents can choose to teach that biblical truth trumps all, that all science is false science, that women should be educated to be subservient to men, that people of color are inferior to whites, that people with nontraditional sexual orientations or gender identities should be “cured” or condemned. Parents can choose to put their children to work, notwithstanding child labor laws. Parents can choose to beat their children, starve them, or chain them up…”

Bartholet then critiques the inability to enact any legislation due to the “outdated nature of the Constitution, 

“The U.S. Constitution with its negative rights structure is an anomaly, outdated and inadequate by the standards of the rest of the world Negative rights— rights to be free from state intervention—are particularly inadequate for children...The U.S. Constitution’s focus on negative rights represents an older western constitutional tradition, “increasingly out of step with emerging constitutional norms…”

Bartholet’s hostility towards homeschooling appears to stem from the fact that a disproportionate amount of these parents are conservative Christians and not progressives: 

“It is the religious ideologues who dominate the homeschooling movement...Nor is there any other significant advocacy organization designed to represent the views of the highly educated nonreligious homeschoolers, the descendants of the John Holt progressive wing of the homeschooling movement.”

Bartholet had been slated to <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14850">appear</a> at a Harvard-sponsored summit that was described as an “anti-homeschooling conference.” Titled “<a href="https://cap.law.harvard.edu/homeschooling-summit-june-18-19-2020/">Homeschooling Summit: Problems, Politics, and Prospects for Reform</a>,” it has since been postponed after receiving fierce backlash.

Dr. David R. Williams is a <a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/davidrwilliams/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tenured professor at Harvard University</a>. He specializes in several subjects, including Public Health, Sociology, and African American Studies. Dr. Williams has also delivered many lectures and written a substantial number of publications that discuss discrimination and racism in the United States, particularly in healthcare, and the negative health impact conservatives have on Democrats and minorities.

In 2016, Dr. Williams appeared in a TED Talk titled, “<a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/david_r_williams_how_racism_makes_us_sick/transcript?language=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How Racism Makes Us Sick</a>”. In this 16 minute video, he discusses how stereotypes in the subconscious minds of healthcare professionals lead to lesser quality care for minorities. He attributes this to implicit biases and explains how it’s an unconscious process that occurs “even among the most well-intended individuals.” According to Williams, when a person of color is being treated by a non-minority medical professional, that provider holds unconscious and inherent biases that cause them to unknowingly provide lesser quality healthcare.

A topic Dr. Williams discusses often, particularly on Twitter, is white privilege and supremacy in politics. In an <a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/davidrwilliams/files/williams_medlock_nejm_elections_and_health_2017.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article published by the New England Journal of Medicine</a> in 2017, Dr. Williams alleges that President Donald Trump’s candidacy reignited pre-existing hostile attitudes towards racial and ethnic minorities and migrants. He goes on to describe how Democrats in particular experienced negative health effects after the 2016 election, as they feel they are direct targets of hostility and discrimination, particularly white American conservatives.

https://twitter.com/D_R_Williams1/status/506515685460021248

&nbsp;

He further accuses the conservative-run Tea Party, which materialized after the election of Barack Obama, of increasing racial animosity in the United States. Dr. Williams claims a large uptick in racism on social media occurred after Obama’s election, as well as a resurgence of historically racist stereotypes. He attributes all of this to the Tea Party.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-1541 size-large aligncenter" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-e1631047832769-1024x469.png" alt="" width="580" height="266" />

<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tea-Party-movement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Tea Party</a> is an organization that was created in response to the 2008 financial and housing crisis in the United States. Outraged by the Obama administration’s policies - such as the mortgage bailouts in 2009 - the Tea Party was born. <a href="https://www.teaparty.org/about-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to their website</a>, the Tea Party claims to have millions of members nationwide, consisting of Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents alike.

Dr. Williams is also credited with developing the “<a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/davidrwilliams/node/32397" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Everyday Discrimination Scale</a>” that is widely used as a measure of subjective experiences of discrimination in order to measure feelings of racism. This scale is used in schools to measure students’ perceived level of discrimination in their everyday lives. On the flip side, if students score very low on the scale, teachers and professors want to know why students think they aren’t being discriminated against. This typically boils down to the color of their skin.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1542 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-4-1-e1631047942158-1024x481.png" alt="" width="580" height="272" />

The scale is used in several major universities, particularly in healthcare studies. The University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies uses the scale to measure “subjective experiences of daily discrimination against the minority population.” Further details about their use of the scale <a href="https://elcentro.sonhs.miami.edu/research/measures-library/daily-discrimination-scale/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can be found here</a>.

As of January 11, over 10,000 people <a href="https://www.change.org/p/resist-the-call-for-the-resignation-of-claudine-gay-as-harvard-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed the Change.org petition</a> calling for Harvard University President Claudine Gay’s resignation. The shift away from public support started after Gay’s <a href="https://youtu.be/oklC-xpSOWc?list=TLPQMTIxMjIwMjOdO_R_5s2NVQ">congressional testimony</a> where she refused to condemn anti-Jewish protests on campus. 

During the December 5, 2023 hearing, New York Representative Elise Stefanik <a href="https://youtu.be/lwu3rBAWvOQ">asked</a> Gay whether inciting violence and genocide against Jews violated Harvard’s rules on bullying or harassment. Gay said, “It can be, depending on the context.” When grilled further about the context, Gay explained, “[When it’s] targeted at an individual.”

After the October 7 Hamas terrorist invasion that killed over 1,000 Jewish citizens, <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/12/6/unrecognized-student-group-protests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 30 pro-Palestine student groups</a> began protesting on Harvard’s main campus. The Crimson reported that 33 student groups also <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/10/10/psc-statement-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed a statement of responsibility</a> wherein Israel is solely blamed for the attack.

In November, at the height of pro-Hamas protests on campus, Gay released a statement:
“Our university embraces a commitment to free expression. That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous. We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views. But that’s a far cry from endorsing them. It’s in the exercise of our freedom to speak that we reveal our characters, and we reveal the character of our institution.…”

​​Gay’s resignation also came amid growing controversy surrounding plagiarized publications throughout her career. Gay initially <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/11/news/claudine-gay-denies-newly-surfaced-plagiarism-accusations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied all allegations</a> of plagiarism and<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harvard-rallies-behind-president-claudine-gay-amid-calls-for-resignation-2023-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> garnered support</a> from more than 500 faculty members.

On December 12, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/billionaire-confirms-harvard-president-was-dei-hire-as-dozens-more-plagiarism-accusations-emerge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gay appeared</a> in The College Fix again. The source said, “Billionaire hedge fund founder Bill Ackman said on [Twitter] he has confirmed that Harvard University’s selection of [Gay] for president was a decision based on diversity, equity and inclusion principles.”

Despite Gay’s lack of integrity and unethical practices, <a href="https://youtu.be/CNXPq6OppJE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The National Desk</a> announced that she will remain a professor at Harvard University and will keep her nearly $900,000 salary.

<a href="https://www.fas.harvard.edu/pages/dean-claudine-gay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Professor Gay’s university profile</a> states, “[S]ince 2006, Gay has studied political behavior, considering issues in her research such as: how the election of minority officeholders affects citizens’ perceptions of their government…how neighborhood environments shape racial and political attitudes among black Americans…and the consequences of housing mobility programs for political participation among the poor.”

<a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/cgay/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gay’s personal statement</a> says, “I bring many of these interests to my undergraduate and graduate advising and teaching, including my courses on Post-Civil Rights Black Politics; Democratic Citizenship; and Politics of Race, Ethnicity and Immigration.” 

In a publication titled <a href="https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/cgay/files/political_behavior_vol_36_p99-124.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Knowledge Matters: Policy Cross-pressures and Black Partisanship</a>, Gay states, in part, “Political observers have long recognized the socially conservative tendencies of the Black mass public. In stark contrast to their views on racial and social welfare, African Americans are firmly anchored to the political right of whites (and other minorities) on a range of moral and cultural issues, including abortion, gay rights, and women’s role in society.”

Professor Gay is also affiliated with <a href="https://inequalityinamerica.fas.harvard.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard’s Inequality in America program</a> – “a multidisciplinary effort to elevate and energize teaching and research on social and economic inequality and to use what we learn to inform the public debate and public response to these challenges.” 

<a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/4/8/gay-thrilled-taeku-hire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Crimson</a> featured Gay’s enthusiasm for expanding the school’s ethnic studies program as she welcomed a new faculty recruit. The article says, “Following more than four decades of lobbying by Harvard students and alumni for an ethnic studies concentration, Gay launched a search for faculty specializing in Asian American, Latinx, and Muslim studies in June 2019.”

A <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/news/releases/Pages/race-gender-equity-initiative.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Newsroom press release</a> described the initiative as “both a renaming of the Gender Initiative and a reflection of work done to understand…racial equality in organizations and business…”

Ely has published several books and journal articles. In 2018, she co-authored an article titled <a href="https://hbr.org/2018/03/beating-the-odds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beating the Odds: Leadership Lessons from Senior African-American Women</a> in which she claimed, “Too often we see business leaders struggle to advance members of underrepresented groups because they model their development strategies on their own paths to success.”

The article concludes by stating, “When African-American women are underrepresented in an organization’s senior leadership roles despite robust academic credentials and work experience, their struggles often suggest a broader problem: a workplace that fails to offer every employee equal access to opportunities for growth.”

In a 2018 symposium, Race, Work &amp; Leadership: Learning About &amp; From Black Experience, Ely said, “[I] take an intersectional approach with the Gender Initiative…I think this is where the energy in the world is right now…gender really shape[s] the lives and livelihoods of people and also our workplaces.”

In 2021, Nowak was censured by <a href="https://www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/claudinegay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Claudine Gay</a>, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences after it was revealed that he had connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a sex trafficker who allegedly committed suicide while awaiting trial in 2019.

Yanilda Gonzalez is the <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/yanilda-gonzalez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School</a>. She teaches Politics and Ethics in Unstable Times, as well as Policing, Citizenship, and Inequality in Comparative Perspective. Both courses offer guidance for analyzing systemic inequalities and injustice in American society.

According to her university profile, Professor Gonzalez focuses her research on “policing, state violence, and citizenship in democracy, examining how race, class, and other forms of inequality shape these processes.” She has also published several scholarly articles and one book titled “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Authoritarian_Police_in_Democracy/afwAEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=authoritarian+police+in+democracy&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Authoritarian Police in Democracy: Contested Security in Latin America</a>.”

The book explores why “police forces are at the center of social unrest and debates about democracy and rule of law [and] the persistence of authoritarian policing in Latin America to explain why police violence and malfeasance remain pervasive decades after democratization.”

In a <a href="https://youtu.be/CkGBLBCHaXM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Kennedy School video discussion</a> of her book, Gonzalez said her inspiration for the publication started when she was a “young and impressionable college student who was starting to learn about democracy as a political science major.” After witnessing alleged human rights abuses during 9/11, working for the <a href="https://www.nyclu.org/en/publications/forces-against-progress-are-gathering-new-york-must-lead-way-forward">New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU)</a>, and studying post-dictatorship policing in South America, Gonzalez came to wonder “how can democratic systems perpetuate authoritarian practices.”

The NYCLU’s is a non-profit organization that focuses on racial justice, voting reform, transgender rights, and the rights of incarcerated people. The group’s legislative goals include lowering incarceration rates among Blacks by decriminalizing minor drug possession and eliminating “taxes on poverty” — these are court fees and fines collected by local governments as a “major source of funding.”

Her research interests and teaching consist of equality, inclusion, economic and social justice, as well as human rights diplomacy and the role of identity in advocacy.

Ossom was featured in a 2020 Harvard Law Today article titled “<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/today/event-series-explores-racial-justice-and-human-rights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Event Series Explores Racial Justice and Human Rights</a>.” She hosted a series of talks “between students, scholars, and practitioners on the role that race plays both in the practice and substance of international human rights work.” When asked what inspired her to convene the event series, Ossom said,

“The series is inspired most directly by the ongoing discussions about systemic racism that have accompanied protests for racial justice around the world…Observations about human rights practice can spark ideas that lead to great legal scholarship.”

In the wake of the high-profile deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, Ossom co-authored <a href="https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=229087098105069064000019124018110099098073020038068011091083024111002018074073066027060118002034019104038016068000078089071026020039005023014121118068002073064111119010065042002003091113006102093092118006112003102116125029086103080105100088068072110090&amp;EXT=pdf&amp;INDEX=TRUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toward an Antiracist Clinical Community, Pedagogy, &amp; Practice</a>.

During a <a href="https://youtu.be/zRG0pQ_pzio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">virtual discussion</a>, “Human Rights, Civil Rights, and the Struggle for Racial Justice,” Ossom joined a panel of social justice activists to discuss the legacy of slavery, race violence, and police brutality. Ossom primarily served as the moderator but joined the conversation to share thoughts on the “defund the police” movement:

“I’m also hearing, too, that issues of trust aren’t just issues of trust for the police. They’re also issues of trust for systems of education, nutritional security, water and sanitation, [and] in other systems...But I should also point out that there’s also distrust among other institutions because of the fact that they failed to provide for Black American communities.

“Harvard’s Office of Dispute Resolution (ODR) found that Comaroff had ‘engaged in verbal conduct that violated the FAS Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy and the FAS Profesional Conduct Policy. Although Comaroff had been accused by three students, only one allegation was found by Harvard's ODR to have any merit.”

“We the undersigned know John Comaroff to be an excellent colleague, advisor and committed university citizen who has for five decades trained and advised hundreds of Ph.D. students of diverse backgrounds…We are dismayed by Harvard’s sanctions against him and concerned about its effects on our ability to advise our own students.”

By February 10 — when details of the lawsuit became public — the <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/2/10/comaroff-faculty-letter-retraction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crimson reported</a>, “Almost all of the Harvard professors who signed an open letter that questioned the results of misconduct investigations into professor Comaroff have retracted their support.” In turn, “some of Harvard’s most prominent scholars signed a letter of retraction” and one sent an email to recant their support.

According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/02/10/harvard-sexual-misconduct-comaroff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washinton Post</a>, “The reversal came after three Harvard graduate students filed a lawsuit accusing the university of ignoring sexual harassment allegations against Comaroff…Attorneys for Comaroff said he categorically denies ever harassing or retaliating against any student…The lawsuit characterized Harvard’s response to complaints as ‘deliberate indifference…’”

As of September, Comaroff was <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/09/09/accused-harasser-john-comaroff-returns-harvard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed from administrative leave</a> and allowed back in the classroom. The lawsuit against Harvard and Comaroff is ongoing.

Sandra Susan Smith is the <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/sandra-susan-smith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice</a> and Faculty Director for the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management at Harvard Kennedy School. Part of her research interests is focused on racial inequality in pretrial detention and diversion. Smith believes criminal offenders — particularly those in black communities — who are monitored electronically incur unfavorable psychological, social, and economic injuries.

<a href="https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/parole/electronic-monitoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Electronic monitoring (EM)</a> is an incarceration alternative that allows pretrial offenders to avoid bail payments or extra time behind bars while awaiting court hearings.

Harvard Kennedy School published an article featuring Smith titled <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-research/policy-topics/fairness-justice/san-francisco-has-fewer-pretrial-detainees-jail" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“San Francisco has few pretrial detainees in jail. But at what cost?”</a> Smith’s research into pretrial detainees revealed that “more than 40% were black, despite black people making up only about 5% of San Francisco’s population.” In the article, Smith argues:

“Reforms like pretrial EM, while presumably meant as a move toward lower incarceration, end up trapping participants in cycles of interaction with the criminal legal system even before they’ve been convicted of a crime. EM, like incarceration itself, reproduces inequalities by race and class and prevents participants from becoming full members of society.”

Essentially, Smith advocates that the mental health of offenders who are monitored is a greater risk than the probability of them committing further crimes while awaiting trial. She “hopes that as reforms continue to happen in the criminal justice system…and that San Francisco will substantially scale back its use of pretrial EM,” according to Harvard Kennedy School.

Smith teaches Section A: Exploring Institutions and Modes of Racial Domination of a course called “<a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/courses/race-and-racism-public-policies-practices-and-perspectives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race and Racism in Public Policies, Practices, and Perspectives</a>.” The section description says, 

“This module…[examines] power and oppression in the contemporary American context. We will explore key theoretical and empirical insights from the social sciences to highlight the role of institutions of racial domination have played in producing durable racial hierarchies…”

His <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/cornell-william-brooks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Kennedy School profile</a> states he was a visiting professor of social ethics, law, and justice movement at Boston University’s School of Law and School of Theology. On the Gloria Purvis Podcast, Brooks discussed how “black” churches in America should respond to social justice issues. He said the church was “tremendously consequential” in his life and his decision to become a minister.

Brooks told The Observer,

“‘There are a great many studies about harm and repair [that are] [sic]regular and routine…Data suggests that reparations is [sic] commonplace. For example, veteran’s injuries, losing property, bad vaccines and when farmers lose their crops. Reparations is not aberrational but is a customary means of redress.”

In May 2020, Brooks was featured in an NPR publication titled “<a href="https://www.delawarepublic.org/national-headlines/2020-05-31/former-naacp-head-cornell-brooks-blames-derek-chauvin-for-violence-at-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Former NAACP Head Cornell Brooks Blames Derek Chauvin for Violence at Protests.</a>” At the height of the controversy — when netizens and politicians were blaming Antifa and far-left radical extremist groups, Brooks said he thought “the police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck should be blamed for violent protests, too.”

NPR quoted Brooks saying,

“In these marches and demonstrations, there are anarchists and white supremacists and others who show up…[b]ut to be clear: There would be no protests, there would be no demonstrations, had Derek Chauvin not killed George Floyd.” 

“[Chauvin] should also be charged with looting, with arson, and with sowing the seeds of chaos and dissension in our public. He is an accomplice, he is a co-conspirator [and] a co-participant in the destruction were are experiencing as a country.”

Marks serves as a <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/zoe-marks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.</a> Her professor profile says her “research and teaching interests focus on the intersection of conflict and political violence.” Her work also explores race, gender, and equality.

She teaches International and Intersectional Approaches to Race and Racism — this is “section C” of a class titled “Race and Racism in Public Policies, Practices, and Perspectives.” The <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/courses/race-and-racism-public-policies-practices-and-perspectives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">course description</a> says, 

“Students will confront legacies and explore key frameworks, from caste to global antiblackness, for understanding and redressing how racism shapes our lives and our world. Each student will build a personal toolkit of intersectional policy analysis skills and concepts…we will work toward concrete policy and advocacy solutions to system racism.”

Zoe Marks is an outspoken supporter of pro-abortion policies, social justice, and women’s rights. In an opinion titled “Breaking the Silence,” she told <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-research/policy-topics/fairness-justice/roe-v-wade-has-been-overturned-what-does-mean#zoe-marks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Kennedy School News</a>,

“The Supreme Court’s decision to let state legislatures control people’s access to abortion care is the latest chapter in a decades-long conversation that most Americans have been reluctant to have…As a historical reference point, it’s useful to remember there is no record of women being discussed at the Constitutional Convention…”

She continued,

“For millions of enslaved women, who were held as property and legally denied bodily autonomy and personhood, sharing knowledge of birth control and abortifacients was a way to claim their sovereignty and resist white capitalist violence.”

Marks co-authored an article titled “<a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2022-02-08/women-rights-revenge-patriarchs?check_logged_in=1&amp;utm_medium=promo_email&amp;utm_source=lo_flows&amp;utm_campaign=registered_user_welcome&amp;utm_term=email_1&amp;utm_content=20221101" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revenge of the Patriarchs: Why Autocrats Fear Women</a>” in which she discusses the role of women throughout world history and politics. From Marks’ perspective, “Countries with authoritarian-leaning leaders, such as Brazil, Hungary, and Poland, have seen the rise of far-right movements that promote traditional gender roles as patriotic while railing against ‘gender ideology.’”

In the same publication, Marks also said,

“Even the United States has experienced a slowdown in progress toward gender equity and a rollback of reproductive rights…During his presidency, Donald Trump worked with antifeminist stalwarts…to halt the expansion of women’s rights around the world.”

“And despite the Biden administration’s commitment to gender equity at the national level, Republican-controlled states are attempting to reverse the constitutional right to abortion, which is now more vulnerable than it has been in decades.”

<a href="https://aaas.fas.harvard.edu/people/jesse-mccarthy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse McCarthy</a> is an Assistant Professor of English as well as a Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. His interests include African American Literature, Modernism, and Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies.

McCarthy authored a collection of essays entitled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Who-Will-Pay-Reparations-Soul-ebook/dp/B08D1K6354/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=who+will+pay+reparations+on+my+soul+essays&amp;qid=1668008114&amp;sprefix=who+will+pay%2Caps%2C279&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B08D1K6354&amp;revisionId=5b7726f8&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Who Will Pay Reparations on My Soul?</a>” in which he argues “for the central role of art and intellection culture in an age of widening inequality and moral crisis,” according to the publisher’s summary. In his introduction, A Note on Style and Usage, McCarthy says,

“Pride in culture and rooted history have always been important to our struggles. Historically, W.E.B. Du Bois and others fought to have the word ‘Negro’ capitalized for this very reason. In that case, ‘the Negro’ became a demonym specifically denoting US racial blackness. The word ‘Negro’...reflects and will always be associated with the history of black Americans under the racial regime of Jim Crow.”

When <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/06/jesse-mccarthy-discusses-his-new-essay-collection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Gazette asked McCarthy</a>, “Where does the title of the collection come from?”, he said, 

“The title is an homage to Gil Scott-Heron…a writer, a poet, and a musician who used his art as a vehicle for ideas and politics and critical thinking…I’m more interested in asking and provoking questions than providing answers.”

He continued,

“This isn’t a prescriptive book — you can’t open it and find an answer to the question of reparations for racial injustice in America or anywhere else. But hopefully, you can open the book and it will provoke you to think about those problems in new ways and raise a bunch of new ones too.”

In 2021, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/26/books/review/jesse-mccarthy-who-will-pay-reparations-on-my-soul.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">featured McCarthy discussing his collection of essays</a> in an article titled To This Essayist and Cultural Critic, the Black Tradition is Resistance. Regarding McCarthy’s target audience for the book, the commentary says, “Some potential readership came of age in the period bookended by the police killings of Michale Brown, in 2014, and both Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, in 2020 — the same period during which McCarthy wrote the essays…”

The New York Times continued, “[McCarthy] mainly hopes to convey ‘the basic premise that nothing is outside our purview, that there are no limits to the ideas, realms of knowledge, creative traditions or political histories that we can lay claim to and incorporate…[McCarthy] convincing explained [his] personal decision to resist the trend of capitalizing ‘Black’ in reference to the community to which he happens to belong.”

Du Bois Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. His faculty profile also says he served as the Chair of the Department of African and African-American Studies, and his research focuses on the “intersection of social psychology, social inequality, politics, and race.”

In June 2020, <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/lawrence-d-bobo-examines-police-killings-of-black-men/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Gazette published a Q &amp; A</a> titled “The Fire This Time.” The subheading says, “[Bobo] dissects police killings of Black men and the history and cognitive forces behind racial bigotry and violence, and why he sees signs of hope.”

The Gazette asked, “In the majority of police-related killings of Black people, the assailants are white. Is that enough to conclude that racism is the cause, or are their other causes also at work?” Bobo responded,

“Certainly racism, and both the historic legacy of racism and the long, deeply etched legacy of racism in terms of our current social conditions and circumstances…have been profoundly distorted by racism.”

He continued,

“It’s really important to recall that what slavery did…was to forge a tight link between our social class structure and a kind of racial hierarchy. It created a bottom rung of people who were racially stigmatized and in the deepest economic disadvantage and poverty.”

Bobo co-authored a book entitled, “<a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Racial_Attitudes_in_America/mPOWMEEKpY0C?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=Racial+Attitudes+in+America&amp;printsec=frontcover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Racial Attitudes in America: Trends and Interpretations</a>.” Chapter 3: Trends in White Racial Attitudes discusses six questions surrounding trends “of how white racial attitudes changed over the past half-century.” Regarding affirmative action, Bobo et al., stated,

“The first affirmative action steps had been attempts to eliminate what came to be called ‘institutional racism’...A second, more active type of affirmative step was to devote government funds to improving the lives of black Americans…Finally, a third and still more dramatic step was to give preference to blacks in employment and educational situations, as a way of…accelerating the move toward equality of outcomes.”

According to the About page, NASEM is a nonprofit institution that “works to shape sound policies, inform public opinion, and advance the pursuit of science, engineering, and medicine.”

Alsan and her committee <a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/improving-the-representation-of-women-and-underrepresented-minorities-in-clinical-trials-and-research#sectionPublications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published a study</a> that concluded, “While progress has been made with the representation of white women in clinical trials and clinical research, there has been little progress in the last three decades to increase participation of racial and ethnic minority population groups.”

Alsan also co-authored a paper titled “<a href="https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w24787/w24787.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Does Diversity Matter for Health? Experimental Evidence From Oakland</a>.” Citing previous studies, the introduction says,

“African-American men have the lowest life expectancy of any major demographic group in the United States and live on average 4.5 few years than non-Hispanic white men. Reasons for this disparity are multifactorial and include lack of health insurance, lower socioeconomic status, and structural racism.”

Alsan et al., further state,

“There are several ways in which racial diversity could play a role in medicine, specifically as it relates to the patient-doctor relationship. Taste-based discrimination on the part of the patient or doctor could imply that individuals are averse to interacting with those who do not share their racial background. On the other hand, internalized racism…could lead to the opposite phenomenon…” 

In 2020, Alsan <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/wiener-conference-calls/marcella-alsan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined a Weiner Conference Call</a> to talk about the “economics of infectious diseases” where she discussed the Covid-19 virus, vaccines, and some research conducted by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s — the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) who was <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/20793561/leopold-nih-foia-anthony-fauci-emails.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exposed for allegedly covering up origins of the Covid-19 pandemic</a>.

During the questions section, the moderator asked on behalf of a student, “‘Very open the terms ‘minorities’ and ‘marginalized communities’ are used interchangeably…During Covid-19, has it been important or relevant to make a distinction between the two groups from a policy point of view?’” 

Alsan gave a hesitant, incoherent response, “I think what…I work mostly in the United States and I think it’s important to think about who is historically disadvantaged, and, um, who might need…who [is] particularly vulnerable. Because simply being less than the majority doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll be equally vulnerable.”

On October 17, 2022, the National Academy of Medicine <a href="https://nam.edu/national-academy-of-medicine-elects-100-new-members-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced Aslan as a newly elected member</a>.

“Juneteenth marks the day slavery officially ended in the United States on June 19, 1865. President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation promised freedom to enslaved people in the Confederate states on January 1, 1863, following the four-year Civil War.”

She continued,

“However, it was a full two and half years before all states were compelled to honor this executive order, effectively freeing the 250,000 people still being held under slavery in Texas. We join you in giving this holiday the national recognition it deserves, while acknowledging that many members of the African-American community continue to struggle for the dignity, access, equality, equity, and inclusion that was envisioned by the Emancipation Proclamation.”

“Yang’s recent empirical projects focus on the effects of the bail system on defendants’ short and long-term outcomes, racial bias in the criminal justice system, the spillover effects of deportation fear, and the use of algorithms in the criminal justice system.”

“We motivate our analysis using <a href="https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/how-gary-becker-saw-the-scourge-of-discrimination" target="_blank" rel="noopener">[Gary] Becker’s model of racial bias</a>, which predicts that rates of pretrial misconduct will be identical for marginal white and marginal black defendants if bail judges are racially unbiased. In contrast, marginal white defendants will have higher rates of misconduct than marginal black defendants if the bail judges are racially biased…”

Yang et al., continued,

“We find suggestive evidence that racial bias is driven by bail judges relying on inaccurate stereotypes that exaggerate the relative danger of releasing black defendants.”

Yang was also featured in the Winter 2019 issue of Harvard Law Bulletin in an article titled “<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/today/crystal-yang-an-empirical-approach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crystal Yang: An Empirical Approach: Making the Case for Criminal Justice Reform</a>.” The author said, “While pretrial detention is often justified as a crime deterrent, Yang and her colleagues found that it actually has a criminogenic effect.” Yang was credited with researching and developing “tools that judges could use to make more-informed decisions.”

In 2021, <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/bpea-articles/the-economic-costs-of-pretrial-detention/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brookings reported</a> Yang’s research on bail disparities led her to co-author a study that led to the conclusion of how “reducing pre-trial detention…would generate significant economic returns for accused individuals…their families and communities.”

“Alejandra previously served as the Secretary of the LGBTQ Rights Committee of the New York City Bar Association and was appointed as the first openly trans community board member in Brooklyn. Alejandra's areas of interest include the intersection of technology and disability rights, [prostitution], and the implications of quantum computing on encryption.”

Harvard Law said, 

“Both instructors, who identify as Latina…are excited to start a new chapter at Harvard after dedicating years to LGBTQ+ legal and advocacy work. They are also both familiar with the unique pressure and emotional weight of their presence in the legal field — where systematic hurdles still block trans people from entry…”

Harvard Law continued,

“Requirements when taking the bar in some states…only allow applicants to be addressed with ‘Mr.’ or ‘Ms’ honorifics...The depth of details that students need to disclose before taking a bar exam…has historically ‘been a problem for trans people who wanted to break into the law...You’re essentially forced to out yourself to a bar committee,’ [Caraballo] said.”

<a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/faculty/diane-l-rosenfeld/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diane Rosenfeld</a> is a Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School.

Rosenfeld teaches a course titled <a href="https://hls.harvard.edu/courses/bonobo-sisterhood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bonobo Sisterhood</a>. A description for the class promises to explore “the power and potential of female alliances to disrupt patriarchal systems.” 

She has also written a book titled, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bonobo-Sisterhood-Revolution-Through-Alliance/dp/0063085070" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Bonobo Sisterhood Revolution Through Female Alliance</a>.” The description states that Rosenfeld will “harness the power of the #MeToo movement into a road map for sex equality” by analyzing the social relations of bonobo monkeys.

In the book, <a href="https://msmagazine.com/2022/10/19/diane-rosenfeld-bonobo-sisterhood-female-alliance-patriarchy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she writes</a>, “Racism and sexism go hand in hand…Each is based on white male supremacy and reflects a foundation in law authored by and judged over by, overwhelmingly, white men. White supremacist patriarchy places white men above everyone else.” 

Rosenfeld <a href="https://msmagazine.com/2022/10/20/bonobo-sisterhood-primate-ancestors-patriarchy-diane-rosenfeld/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims these monkeys have no patriarchal roles</a>, “Evolutionarily, they have eliminated male sexual coercion.” Rosenfeld states, “A new idea of the bonobo sisterhood is to think about equality among women, not measuring our equality solely in relation to men.” 

She states that “Bonobos offer us a model for female sexuality outside of patriarchy,” but claims it will only work if “<a href="https://msmagazine.com/2022/10/19/diane-rosenfeld-bonobo-sisterhood-female-alliance-patriarchy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white women get on board</a>.” Rosenfeld hopes to “let men know that stepping outside the harmful tropes of masculinity will be liberating and better for all.” 

Rosenfeld continues, “This calls for a serious reckoning—especially among white women—about racism and white supremacy. My hope is that this can contribute to a huge leap forward for humankind.”

Former CNN correspondent Brian Stelter is the <a href="https://shorensteincenter.org/programs/fellowships/walter-shorenstein-media-democracy-fellowship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walter Shorenstein Media &amp; Democracy Fellow</a> at the Harvard Kennedy School. Stelter joined the university’s Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy in the Fall of 2022. Details of Stelter's position were featured in a <a href="https://shorensteincenter.org/stelter-shorenstein-fellow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard press release</a>:

“As the Walter Shorenstein Fellow, Stelter will convene a series of discussions about threats to democracy and the range of potential responses from the news media. These discussions with media leaders, policymakers…and faculty will help deepen public and scholarly understanding about the current state of the information ecosystem and its impacts on democratic governance.”

Stelter received the Walter Shorenstein appointment shortly after being terminated from his position as the host of CNN’s Reliable Sources (RS). The show ran for 30 years with Stelter at the helm from 2013 until its cancellation in August 2022. According to the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/harvard-taps-journalism-expert-brian-stelter-for-teaching-gig/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review</a>, "Stelter was let go by CNN after its new chairman and CEO, Chris Licht, took the reins from Jeff Zucker, who encouraged Stelter to make criticism of right-wing media the focus of his show…”

In a video announcing his departure, Stelter said,

“As most of you know, CNN has a new owner. Warner Brothers Discovery is making big changes across the company. And there’s going to be more change all across the company including here at CNN. And I’m sad I won’t be here to cover it.”

He continued,

"This entire hour is a special hour and it's about change. It's about change all across the media world. What's changing, what might change, and what must never change about the accountability function of journalism. You know I love this show, this small but mighty show that punched above its weight for so many years."

In August 2020, Stelter <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hoax/PKv5DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a book</a> titled“Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth.” Publishers said the novel includes “never before reported details [that expose] the media personalities who, though morally bankrupt, profit outrageously by promoting the President’s propaganda and radicalizing the American right.”

Under the section subheading, The Cult, Stelter wrote,

“The MAGAsphere targeted journalists who pointed out Trump’s falsehoods and flubs. Fox’s truth-tellers faced some of the most vociferous attacks because they were perceived to be turncoats.“

He continued later in the chapter,

“Once unbound from the shackles of truth, Fox’s power came from what it decided to cover — its chosen narratives — and what it decided to ignore. Trump’s immature, erratic, and immoral behavior? His sucking up to Putin? His mingling of presidential business and personal profit? Fox talk shows played dumb and targeted the ‘deep state’ instead.”

<a href="https://ghsm.hms.harvard.edu/faculty-staff/jason-bryan-silverstein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Silverstein</a> is a Global Health and Social Medicine Lecturer and the Co-Director of Math of Science in Media, Medicine, and Health at Harvard Medical School. In May 2022, one month before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 ruling Roe v. Wade, Silverstein submitted a narrative to <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/health/a39970410/abortion-saved-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Men’s Health Magazine</a>. The article retells the story of a woman who underwent an abortion procedure that allegedly saved her life. Silverstein introduced the publication by stating, 

“While many states will make exceptions for the life of the mother, medical emergency exceptions are not as clear as they may seem—how close to death does a woman have to be before an abortion is legal isn’t black-and-white…What is clear is that many women are alive today because they could have an abortion…”

The woman that Silverstein wrote to Men’s Health about was experiencing an ectopic pregnancy —a potentially life-threatening condition caused by a fertilized egg growing outside the uterus (i.e. in the fallopian tubes). The abnormality can cause severe internal bleeding and laparoscopic surgery (which usually results in terminating the pregnancy) is often required to successfully treat the issue.

In September of the same year, Men’s Health <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/health/a34044035/covid-19-need-real-lockdown/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a Silverstein article with the title, “We Can’t Beat COVID-19 Without a 6-Week Lockdown.” Under the heading, “Why a lockdown is a reasonable move,” Silverstein said,

“By now the evidence is clear: lockdowns work. We know that strict lockdowns worked in China, slowing down how fast the virus spreads. In Wuhanm, the unprecedented 76-day lockdown, in which people were barred [from] leaving the city or their homes for once every three days for food, stopped new infections by two-thirds.”

After praising lockdown policies in Italy, France and New Zealand, he continued,

“The lack of any real lockdown plus patchwork of state policies feels like a strategy designed by the COVID virus itself…Just as cases started to surge in the summer, states decided to relax what orders they had…[B]ecause the first lockdowns were half-assed, now the need for a second may be a death sentence for some small businesses…

She’s also the Director of Clinical Research in the Behavioral Health, Endocrinology and Urology Program, and Gender Multispecialty Service at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Tishelman’s HMS profile says she was “selected by the World Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) to be the international lead developing new global standards of care for prepubescent children.”

Tishelman, along with several “transgender specialists,” authored WPATH’s “<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/26895269.2022.2100644" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People, Version 8</a>.” The publication was intended to “provide clinical guidelines for health professionals to assist transsexual, transgender and gender nonconforming people with safe and effective pathways to achieving lasting personal comfort…”

Addressing gender identity in minor patients, Tishelman et al., stated:

“Our understanding of gender identity development in adolescence is continuing to evolve…For some youth, gender identity development appears fixed and is often expressed from a young age, while for others there may be a developmental process that contributes to gender identity development over time.”

The authors’ “Statement of Recommendation”  for healthcare professionals includes:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">“...possess a general knowledge of gender diversity across the lifespan.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">…develop expertise in autism spectrum disorders and other neurodiversity or collaborate with an expert with relevant expertise when working with autistic/neurodivergent, gender-diverse children.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">...respond supportively to children who desire to be acknowledged as the gender that matches their internal sense of gender identity.”</li>
</ul>
According to Tishelman et al., “At present, no clinical cohort studies have reported on profiles of adolescents who regret their initial decision or detransition after irreversible affirming treatment.”

Tishelman was a panel speaker during WPATH’s <a href="https://www.wpath.org/media/cms/Upcoming%20Conferences/2022/WPATH%202022%20Prospectus%20Final.pdf?_t=1649279057" target="_blank" rel="noopener">27th Scientific Symposium</a> in September 2022. WPATH’s stated goal is to work to “further the understanding of the range of interventions, modalities, medical and surgical gender-affirming treatments” while providing “opportunities for professionals to…communicate with each other in the context of research and treatment of gender incongruence…”

In June 2023, <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-black-geography-of-the-city/">Boston Review</a> interviewed Roane about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Agoras-Insurgent-Social-Politics/dp/1479847674/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21MANUVSI36NU&amp;keywords=dark+agoras&amp;qid=1699479018&amp;sprefix=dark+agoras%2Caps%2C154&amp;sr=8-1&amp;asin=B09X2GLKKH&amp;revisionId=fb4c3c45&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his book</a> “Dark Agoras: Insurgent Black Social Life and the Politics of Place” in which he “investigates the ways they transposed rural imaginaries about and practices of place as part of their spatial resistances and efforts to contour industrial neighborhoods.”

Roane introduced the book by stating:
“Dark <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=agoras+meaning&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS1021US1022&amp;oq=agoras+meaning&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIJCAYQABgKGIAEMg0IBxAuGMcBGNEDGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgkICRAAGAoYgATSAQkxNTU1MGowajeoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agoras</a> emerged under slavery through the active reinvention of African socialities and consciousnesses about place, identity, kinship, and belonging as the negation of the spatial and temporal features associated with domination and slave mastery…”
He goes on to state:
“Connections within the sites constituting dark agoras, as well as encounters across them and movement between them, underwrote a distinctive black working-class phenomenology of the city, the basis of what I term black queer urbanism…Black queer urbanism refers to a critical approach that views nonnormative forms of black social-geographic life…”
During the <a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-black-geography-of-the-city/">Boston Review</a> interview, Roane responded to the question: “In your book, you argue that the stoop stands as one of the places that constitute the underground. How does this domestic exterior transform into a vital place for sociality?” Roane said:
“The stoop has a whole genealogy. The black uses of the stoop emerge out of the uses of the quarters in the context of the plantation…that was integrally related to their geographic position to the side of the major formation of the plantation—the big house—and to the spaces of labor, the field...
“When black communities get displaced during the Jim Crow enclosures…they don’t just relinquish those values.”

Roane is an outspoken supporter of Palestine. After the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, he <a href="https://www.answercoalition.org/open_letter_harvard_palestine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed an open letter</a> defending pro-Hamas rallies at Harvard University. The letter states, 
“The case of Harvard University is only one of many examples of the attacks that those who express solidarity with the Palestinians struggle face; attacks that are rapidly escalating at this time. Likewise, violent hate crimes against Palestinians are taking place around the country.”
Roane posted on X, formerly known as Twitter—

<a href="https://aaas.fas.harvard.edu/people/walter-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walter Johnson</a> is the Winthrop Professor of History and a Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. Johnson’s focus areas are “slavery, capitalism and imperialism in the nineteenth century.” His <a href="https://college.harvard.edu/academics/faculty/faculty-spotlights/walter-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faculty Spotlight</a> profile states: 

“As Johnson approaches his work, he is fueled not only by <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/michael-brown-killed-by-police-ferguson-mo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events in Ferguson</a> and his work in St. Louis but also the current reckoning over American racism and the Black Lives Matter movement.”

In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/05/17/west-is-relevant-our-long-history-anti-blackness-not-just-south/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post op-ed</a> titled “The West is relevant to our long history of anti-blackness, not just the South,” Johnson wrote:
“While we commonly think of slavery, sharecropping and segregation in the South as driving anti-blackness in American history, the process of western expansion, with the attendant notion of ‘the white man’s country,’ that undergirded the development of cities such as St. Louis and the United States, is equally essential to explaining the power and persistence of anti-blackness today.”

“[Johnson], a History professor and the first listed signatory on the letter, confirmed in an email that the letter was referring to <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/11/11/thayer-proctor-relief-of-duties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elom Tettey-Tamaklo</a>, a Harvard doctor who was relieved of his position after appearing in a video confrontation at a “die-in” supporting Palestine at Harvard Business School.”

The letter, “Harvard Faculty Statement In Support of Academic Freedom,” claims Gay’s <a href="https://youtu.be/HDI2P4dOsJ8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">message on November 9</a> contained “outright racism” and that there “must be room on a university campus for debate about the actions of states, including the State of Israel.”

According to Johnson et al.:
“[T]he phrase ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free” has a long and complicated history. Its interpretation deserves, and is receiving, sustained and ongoing inquiry and debate. Singling it out as necessarily implying removalism or even eliminationism…is imprudent as a matter of university policy and badly misjudged as an act of moral leadership.”

Gino made headlines after she was accused of falsifying research data. Gino’s lawyer has publicly stated that Harvard lacked evidence for its allegations.

On March 16, 2024, <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/education/harvard-honesty-professor-allegedly-tampered-data-and-should-be-fired" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Just The News</a> featured Gino in an article entitled “Harvard honesty professor allegedly tampered with data and should be fired, according to probe.” Just The News said, “[Gino], considered a star behavioral scientist … allegedly tweaked observations in four of her studies to boost her hypothesis.”

The <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/16/us-news/harvard-professor-of-honesty-tampered-with-data-and-should-be-fired-probe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> reported on the university’s findings, stating, “The university report detailed that Harvard began a preliminary investigation of Gino’s work in October 2021 after the Data Colada researchers brought their concerns about the papers’ sketchy data to the school.”

The Post continued, “A full probe was conducted in 2022 and 2023, with three [Harvard] faculty members interviewing Gino and people who worked with her on the papers, in addition to reviewing her data, emails, and papers’ manuscripts. An outside forensics firm also was hired to analyze her studies’ data.”

<a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/3/15/gino-harvard-investigation-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Harvard Crimson</a> reported that the university’s report recommended Gino’s termination. The source said, “The report says that Gino asserted that ‘an unknown actor with malicious intentions was a more plausible explanation than honest errors or intentional data falsification by herself.’”

The source said, “The investigation concluded that Gino had ‘significantly departed from accepted practices of the relevant research community and committed research misconduct intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly.’”

Gino has filed a $25 million lawsuit against Harvard Business School claiming that she has undergone “reputational damage along with loss of income and career opportunities,” according to the New York Post.

<a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty/timothy-patrick-mccarthy">Timothy Patrick McCarthy</a> is a Lecturer on Education, at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. 

According to his faculty profile, McCarthy “is Core Faculty in the Equity and Opportunity Foundations Curriculum, Online Master’s Program in Education Leadership, and Higher Education Concentration.” He also “teaches the school’s only course on LGBTQ matters.” 

McCarthy is an “award-winning scholar, educator, and human rights activist who has taught at Harvard since 1998.”

According to <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/fire-professors-who-oppose-gender-affirming-care-harvard-faculty-chair-says/">The College Fix</a>, McCarthy was interviewed by <a href="https://nyunews.com/features/news/2025/02/24/affiliates-tied-to-anti-trans-practices/">Washington Square News</a> and stated that professors who oppose “gender-affirming” care should be “removed and stripped of their academic titles.”

In the interview, McCarthy stated “there’s a particular place in hell for academics who use their academic expertise and power to distort and do violence to people in the world.”

The College Fix wrote to McCarthy for further information. His response was confrontational:

“I see what you’re doing here—it’s a tired, ancient playbook—and I hope you know that you have picked a fight with the wrong veteran of these culture wars,” McCarthy responded.

McCarthy told Washington Square News, those who question the validity of gender-affirming care “poison the waters” around the practice of “transgender” care. 

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley wrote an <a href="https://jonathanturley.org/2025/03/14/harvard-professor-calls-for-the-firing-of-any-faculty-not-supporting-gender-affirming-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> criticizing the comments of McCarthy. According to Turley, the professor “was targeting two professors at NYU who are affiliated with groups critical of surgical and chemical interventions for gender dysphoria.” 

In 2017, McCarthy made the following comments about the play <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/9/14/fifteen-professors-2017-timothy-mccarthy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard Crimson</a> “Hamilton”, alleging that the US founding was a matter of whiteness and masculinity. Certain characters based on US Founders are considered queer: 

“[T]his is a very masculine play, and the traditional reading of the founding is not just white but also male. The two characters that are most queer include Thomas Jefferson, who is widely criticized as a slave owner and a hypocrite and this Prince-like, purple-clad dandy who returns from Paris and asks, ‘What did I miss? What did I miss?’ and prances across the stage. The other queer character in ‘Hamilton’ is King George III, who shows up every once in awhile to bring a little sass and strut his stuff, and then leaves.”

<a href="https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/jades">Jade Sasser</a> is an Associate Professor in the Gender &amp; Sexuality Studies Department at the University of California, Riverside. According to her faculty profile, Sasser’s “research and teaching explore the relationships between large-scale environmental problems—such as climate change&#8211; and women’s bodies, health, and activism.” On her <a href="https://jadesasserphd.com/about/">website</a>, Sasser describes herself as a “Feminist scholar of climate justice, reproductive politics, and the future.”
In April 2024, Sasser published a book titled “<a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/books/climate-anxiety-and-the-kid-question/paper">Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question</a>.” According to the book description, “Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question presents original research, drawing from in-depth interviews and national survey results that analyze the role of race in environmental emotions and the reproductive plans young people are making as a result. 
Sasser concludes the book by claiming that “climate emotions and climate justice are inseparable, and that culturally appropriate mental and emotional health services are a necessary component to ensure climate justice for vulnerable communities.”
In the first chapter of “Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question,” the author focuses on “eco-anxiety” and its alleged effect on “young white, middle-class people.” She references the studies of “climate emotions expert” Sarah Jaquette Ray. The concept of eco-anxiety is addressed in detail in the excerpt below:

Sasser further addresses the factor of race and its effect on climate change later on in the chapter. She also discusses why people of reproductive age are not having children due to climate concerns. (See excerpt below):

In 2018, Sasser <a href="https://nyupress.org/9781479899357/on-infertile-ground/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a similar book titled “On Infertile Ground: Population Control and Women’s Rights in the Era of Climate Change.” The publisher’s description states that the book “brings a critical feminist lens to studying how population control developed as an environmentalist strategy for international development, and how young policy advocates today are working to remake population interventions as social justice approaches.”

<a href="https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/janew">Jane Ward</a> is a professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of California - Riverside. According to her personal website, Ward <a href="https://www.janewardphd.com/">teaches</a> courses in feminist, queer, and heterosexuality studies. She also <a href="https://gsst104thewitch.weebly.com/">teaches</a> a course titled, “Witches, Gender and Religion.” A “Witch,” according to Ward–who instructs the course with a “postcolonial feminist lens”–threatens capitalism, settler colonialism, and Christianity.

Ward is the <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/professor-heterosexuality-tragic-causes-societal-problems">author</a> of a book titled, “The Tragedy of Heterosexuality.” Ward’s central premise of the book–<a href="https://www.insider.com/why-straight-relationships-are-doomed-according-to-sex-researcher-2020-12">outlined</a> in a 2020 article for Insider_ is her belief that heterosexuality strains relationships between the sexes, and causes men to objectify women.

According to Ward, the idea of heterosexuality formed the “romanticized narrative” of a gender binary and “pigeon-holed” men into a toxic-masculine culture. She states that Covid-19 is now exposing the “tragedy” of heterosexuality, citing the uptick in divorce since the pandemic began.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1078 size-large" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Copy-of-PWL-Quote-Template-70-e1612395416239-1024x366.png" alt="" width="580" height="207" />

She has also previously <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-white-supremacist-origins-of-modern-marriage-advice-144782">detailed</a> her belief that marriage advice for heterosexual couples is rooted in white supremacy. Ward alleges that the marriage advice offered by figures in the 19th-eugenics movement is the cause of “violence and inequity” between heterosexual couples today.

In a <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16693">statement</a> to Campus Reform, Ward explained that she “loves straight couples” and wants them to have better relationships.

In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Ward <a href="https://www.janewardphd.com/resources.html">offers</a> “Childhood Gender Diversity Training” seminars. According to her personal website, Jane advocates for “celebrating” a child’s gender diversity and self-expression, and offers the training to help adults, parents, and teachers refrain from “policing” a child’s gender expression. Ward is also a <a href="https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-affirmative-care-for-trans-kids">signatory</a> to an open petition urging the Canadian government and others “to join us in calling for additional funding to develop more services to better support gender diverse children.”

<a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-being-super-straight-on-social-media-part-of-white-supremacy-colonialism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix</a> reported that Robinson wrote an <a href="https://bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/3/1-2/7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> for the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies (BATS) titled “Super Straights.” The article criticizes the “super straight” concept of sexuality <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bphRoV_3CmE">coined</a> by TikTok influencer “KyleRoyce.” Robinson defined this as a sexual identity adopted by straight people who claim that they are not attracted to “transgender” people.

Robinson’s purpose for writing the article was to study those who identify as super straight “in order to more broadly examine strategies and discourses around how people engage in transphobia without wanting to be seen as transphobic.”

One of Robinson’s assessments of this “super straight” community is that heterosexuality entails something more than a biological desire for the opposite sex: 
“For the super straights, heterosexuality has moved beyond desire for biological sex. The social maintenance of heterosexuality, though, often requires policing trans people and genitals, especially within intimate settings (Schilt and Westbrook 2009). For certain straight people to maintain heterosexuality and to reinvest in heteronormativity, they developed a new concept. This concept of super straight reasserts notions of bioessentialism, especially gender essentialism, as the heart of sex, sexuality, and sexual identity (Stearns 1995). That is, some super straights work to reassert genitals and dominant notions of biological sex as essential to heterosexuality — or what makes it super.”
Robinson also claims that the notion of sexual identity was invented by Western civilization. Moreover, the process of the Atlantic slave trade supposedly “ungendered” black slaves and the perception of their gender by non-blacks. 
“Through the transatlantic slave trade, the Eurocentric gender binary also gets constructed in and through whiteness, whereby Black people became ungendered — seen as not having a gender but only seen as a slave — and whereby only white people were seen as being a man or a woman.”
For the article, Robinson studied user commentary in several Reddit communities centered around the subject of sexuality. 

Robinson concluded his article by calling for “transgender liberation” — and overall gender liberation — in the face of those who allegedly oppose it:
“While overt transphobia is on constant display in this historical moment of rising anti-trans laws and anti-trans backlash, understanding more covert — and at times progressive and liberal — ways that transphobia operates is also crucial in addressing trans antagonism and working toward trans liberation. Indeed, the logics and discourses examined on Reddit such as biological essentialist discourses of sex often operate in other settings, including some feminist spaces, to exclude trans people. 
“As these logics of transphobia without transphobes might be harder to challenge compared to more overt transphobia, it is imperative to name and expose these ideologies and logics, including their historical links to white supremacy, in order to resist them. We can learn from trans people pushing back against these discourses and logics through reason, parody, and play to continue the work of ending violence and discrimination and building a world of gender liberation.”

“As a department committed to critical feminist, queer, and trans research, we understand that the devastating effects of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has disproportionately impacted – and continues to disproportionately impact – Black and Brown communities due to systemic racism, misogyny, misogynoir, empire and colonialism, occupation and extraction, and xenophobia and white supremacy.”

Dr. Robinson claims that sex is not biological but a social construct.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Heterosexuality is doing what it is meant to do (and on steroids because of COVID) - subordinate women, extract their labor, and keep men on top. I hate to break it to straight women, but there will be no gender liberation without abolishing the institution of heterosexuality.

Climate Alarmist

<a href="https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/jades">Jade Sasser</a> is an Associate Professor in the Gender &amp; Sexuality Studies Department at the University of California, Riverside. According to her faculty profile, Sasser’s “research and teaching explore the relationships between large-scale environmental problems—such as climate change-- and women’s bodies, health, and activism.” On her <a href="https://jadesasserphd.com/about/">website</a>, Sasser describes herself as a “Feminist scholar of climate justice, reproductive politics, and the future.”

In April 2024, Sasser published a book titled “<a href="https://www.ucpress.edu/books/climate-anxiety-and-the-kid-question/paper">Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question</a>.” According to the book description, “Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question presents original research, drawing from in-depth interviews and national survey results that analyze the role of race in environmental emotions and the reproductive plans young people are making as a result. 

Sasser concludes the book by claiming that “climate emotions and climate justice are inseparable, and that culturally appropriate mental and emotional health services are a necessary component to ensure climate justice for vulnerable communities.”

In the first chapter of “Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question,” the author focuses on “eco-anxiety” and its alleged effect on “young white, middle-class people.” She references the studies of “climate emotions expert” Sarah Jaquette Ray. The concept of eco-anxiety is addressed in detail in the excerpt below:

Sasser further addresses the factor of race and its effect on climate change later on in the chapter. She also discusses why people of reproductive age are not having children due to climate concerns. (See excerpt below):

<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3809" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-18-at-11.54.59 AM-1024x302.png" alt="" width="640" height="189" />

In 2018, Sasser <a href="https://nyupress.org/9781479899357/on-infertile-ground/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> a similar book titled “On Infertile Ground: Population Control and Women’s Rights in the Era of Climate Change.” The publisher’s description states that the book “brings a critical feminist lens to studying how population control developed as an environmentalist strategy for international development, and how young policy advocates today are working to remake population interventions as social justice approaches.”

<a href="https://sites.temple.edu/josephschwartz/">Dr. Joseph Schwartz</a>, a Professor of Political Science at Temple University, took over a College Republican discussion with a representative from Pennsylvania Right to Work Defense and Education Foundation. He and some of his students insulted the speaker and accused him of racism. Schwartz then exclaimed, “Oh come on, f*****g a--. I believe in the religion of foul language.”

<a href="https://www.temple.edu/about/faculty-staff/sara-goldrick-rab-tug64840">Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab</a>, a Professor of Policy, Organizational, and Leadership Studies at Temple University, took to Twitter to compare Republican governor Scott Walker to Hitler. Her tweet said “My grandfather, a psychologist, just walked me through the similarities between Walker and Hitler. There are so many- it’s terrifying”. According to Campus Reform, the tweets followed a contentious battle over budgets and policy changes for the University of Wisconsin system.

On the day after the death of O.J. Simpson, Hill posted a YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgKqiBCGIL0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stream</a> titled, “O.J. Simpson is DEAD!!! Do NOT Make Him A Hero or a Martyr.” In the stream, Hill repeatedly asserts that Simpson is a “monster” and not a figure worth celebrating for the black community. He <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/12/opinion/left-is-still-defending-oj-because-race-is-more-important-to-them-than-justice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">maintains Simpson was guilty</a> of the crimes he committed even though his "acquittal was the 'correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system.'"

This stream came after Hill posted his initial reaction to Simpson’s death, according to <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/cuny-professor-marc-lamont-hill-says-cold-blooded-killer-oj-simpsons-acquittal-was-correct-and-necessary-to-fight-racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Post Millennial</a>:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
O.J. Simpson was an abusive liar who abandoned his community long before he killed two people in cold blood. His acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system. But he’s still a monster, not a martyr.
— Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) <a href="https://twitter.com/marclamonthill/status/1778461905268412472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 11, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Before addressing those crimes, Hill condemned Simpson for his lifestyle choices, which, he claims, were very much a dismissal and abandonment of the black community and culture: 
“O.J. Simpson is not a person who is our kind. O.J. Simpson became famous, moved to L.A. …  and created a social network that was filled with white people. He created a white reality.”
Hill stated that the white Ford Bronco that Al Cowlings (Simpson’s friend) and Simpson attempted to escape the police with was not the first time Simpson used a white vehicle to “escape a black reality.” Hill stated that Simpson “wanted no parts of the black community.”

Hill alleges that L.A. Detective Mark Fuhrman—who investigated the crime scene at Simpson’s house in the aftermath of the murders of Nicole Brown, Simpson’s ex-wife, and her friend Ron Goldman—is solely to blame for the acquittal of Simpson. 
“O.J. Simpson should not have been found guilty because there was a police officer [Fuhrman], a racist police officer … who at the end of the day lied about using the n-word. He had a history of racist acts. Mark Fuhrman is the reason why O.J. Simpson spent the next few decades as a free man living in a white world. I’m not saying that O.J. Simpson should’ve gone to prison. I’m saying that O.J. Simpson was guilty of the crime.” 
Hill claims the Simpson case in 1994 and its outcome was a referendum on the allegedly racist U.S. justice system. He says Simpson was found innocent due to “reasonable doubt because of a racist cop.” However, he defends Johnnie Cochrane, Simpson’s attorney during that trial, and claims he and Simpson are two different species. Cochrane was a civil rights leader who fought the “racist” system by using O.J.’s case, according to Hill. 

Towards the end of the stream, Hill asserts the following.
“O.J. is a reminder that the world is racist, that the system is racist, that the cops are racist …  O.J. forced y’all to deal with white supremacy [and] structural racism.”
Of the response to Simpson’s death, Hill claims it will be celebratory for white people in the fashion of certain responses to the deaths of dictators or terrorists:
 “White people will act like it’s the fall of Sadaam Hussein.”

According to his university profile, Welbeck’s research includes “contemporary issues of racial identity in America [and] the intersection of racial classifications and the law in the American context.”

At the <a href="https://news.temple.edu/news/2022-11-30/temple-university-s-center-anti-racism-holds-grand-opening" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center’s grand opening ceremony</a> in November 2022, Welbeck said the goal is to be a “hub of collaboration across the university as we seek to create scholarship that will shape the course of the discourse and help us better understand what racism is, how it reveals itself and how we can better fight against it.”

Welbeck further discussed his vision for the center in an interview with <a href="https://news.temple.edu/news/2021-10-05/unravelling-systemic-oppression-through-scholarship-advocacy-and-education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Temple Now</a>. He said the Center “will examine the ways racism finds its way into systems and structures, like housing, the criminal justice system, healthcare, environmental concerns, city planning, etc.” He continues, “We’ll begin targeting our efforts and focus on various issues within the U.S. and specifically the North Philadelphia community.”

Welbeck has been outspoken about his <a href="https://news.temple.edu/news/2022-06-15/temple-experts-remain-committed-anti-racism-work-ahead-juneteenth-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support for critical race theory</a>, accusing those who are against it of trying to “keep productive conversations about race out of American classrooms.” He stated:
“It’s a very coordinated, deliberate campaign that’s funded and organized around trying to disarm any type of assessment of racial inequity in the United States, which is why if you look at some of the legislation from the 26 states that said to have banned critical race theory, they’re not actually banning critical race theory, but they’re banning terms like diversity, equity and inclusion.” 
After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned affirmative action in June 2023, Welbeck participated in a panel discussion about the impact of the Court’s decision.

“We need the ability to target the centuries of exclusion of Black people in America and to not be afraid to talk about the actual problem itself. There was unique harm targeted at specific racial groups, so we need specific remedies to address it and to give them time to work.”

<a href="https://liberalarts.temple.edu/academics/faculty/fogg-davis-heath" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heath Fogg Davis</a> is a Professor of Political Science at Temple University. 

According to Davis’ <a href="https://heathfoggdavis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, the professor studies “discrimination and identity formation with the goal of puzzling out their complicated workings, while also highlighting the many organizations and individuals fighting for a better, more equitable world.”

Aside from teaching, Davis works “with companies and organizations to help them imagine, design, and achieve their diversity and inclusion goals.”

In a 2017 <a href="https://www.powells.com/post/original-essays/do-we-need-gender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> for Powell’s City of Books titled “Do We Need Gender,” Davis writes about the subject of gender and its relevance to contemporary society.

In the article, Davis criticizes the “belief” that sex is determined by genitalia:  
“Many people still believe that sex is determined by genitalia. Girls have vaginas, and boys have penises … Most people who are born with penises and identified as male at birth go on to identify as boys and then men. And most people who are born with vaginas and identified as female at birth go on to identify as girls and then as women.”
He claims this belief can lead to transgender discrimination:
“This variation has repercussions for how we detect and fight transgender discrimination. Some people who identify as ‘trans’ experience transgender discrimination because others perceive them to have altered, or be in the process of changing their birth sex designation, or because they have disclosed such as transition. Some people who identify as trans do not experience transgender discrimination because they appear to others to be gender conforming. To further complicate matters, some people who do not identify as trans experience transgender discrimination because others perceive them as trans and/or gender non-conforming.” 
In another 2017 <a href="https://genderpolicyreport.umn.edu/why-testosterone-ranges-should-replace-sex-segregation-in-title-ix-sports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> titled “Why Testosterone Ranges Should Replace Sex-Segregation in Title IX Sports,” Davis argues in favor of athletes performing in sports based on their amount of testosterone rather than their biological gender. 
“[W]e can say that certain sex-related physiological features, such as muscle mass, lung capacity, and aggression, are relevant to ‘fair play.’ These mutable characteristics are affected by the amount of functional testosterone in an athlete’s body, not by the presence or absence of genitalia.”
He admits this change would not be easy and would result in certain social consequences:
“If we were to replace sex-segregation with testosterone levels in Title IX sports, we would, of course, not be making a trivial change. Part of the sense of ‘losing tradition’ is tied up with losing the social aspect of gender-based affinity that is considered formative to young athletes: girls and boys and women and men working together toward common goals and competing to achieve them”
Yet, Davis concludes the article by subtly expressing his favor for this form of collegiate athletics in light of other moves the NCAA has made:
“Replacing male and female competitive sports with hormone levels seems, on its face, radical, but the NCAA and other elite sports organizations have already begun rewriting the rules in favor of fair play.”

In May 2023, Pollitt was featured in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/temple-university-has-a-porn-studies-class-2023-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Business Insider article</a> titled “Temple University now offers porn-studies course. In the class, students talk about things they ‘don’t even discuss with their closest friends.’” Pollitt told the Insider that her course “kept having a longer wait list” of students who were interested in the topic. She ultimately concluded that people “really want to talk about [sex].” 

The Insider wrote:

“[Pollitt] said her goal in creating the course was to use digital pornography as a jumping-off point to talk about race, ability, and the patriarchy. Pollitt added that she wanted to teach students how to get away with binary thinking: viewing porn as simply right versus wrong, good versus bad.”

Pollitt also said the discussion in her course venture into “racialized porn,” “disability porn,” and “trans porn.” However, in the past, she told <a href="https://19thnews.org/2023/07/porn-studies-temple-university-professor-jennifer-pollitt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">19th News</a> that her course would not include watching pornographic movies and “[u]npacking the stigma about porn and sexuality is one of her goals as an educator.” 

The screenshot below shows a list of hypersexualized classes primarily taught by Pollitt.

The university publication <a href="https://news.temple.edu/news/2023-09-14/what-you-need-know-watching-marvels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Temple Now</a> included Pollitt’s comments on a film called The Marvel, which features an all-female main cast. Pollitt was asked to share her thoughts on Nia DaCosta (a black woman) who directed the movie. Pollitt was quoted saying:

<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3805" src="https://backend.professorwatchlist.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/pwl-1024x791.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="494" />

In the article, Pollitt also took offense to the phrase “going all-female,” declaring that the film “challenges” views on women as superheroes and “reinforces that women are just as strong, brave, capable and resilient as men.” Apparently, Pollitt is unfamiliar with historic female heroines and lead characters such as Catwoman (1940), Wonder Woman (1941), Batwoman (1956), The Bionic Woman (1976), and Elasti-Girl/Woman (DC Comics, 1963; Disney, 2004).

When asked by <a href="https://19thnews.org/2023/07/porn-studies-temple-university-professor-jennifer-pollitt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">19th News</a> about the purpose of her salacious class, Pollitt admitted that “porn studies” hasn’t been taken seriously in the past because the topic “was considered smut and a waste of time.” Considering the innumerable marriages and <a href="https://extension.usu.edu/relationships/research/effects-of-pornography-on-relationships" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationships destroyed by pornography</a>—as well as <a href="https://www.theasservoproject.org/pornography-and-human-trafficking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the industry’s proven ties</a> to adult and child sex trafficking—Pollitt is doing a disservice to the education community at Temple University, if not the entire realm of academics.

In a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/01/25/how-conservatives-learned-love-big-government/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington claims conservatives are “ideologically inconsistent” and flip-flop between hating big government when Democrats are in office while loving big government when Republicans are in the White House. He asserts that conservatives abuse their power and state authority and that those abusive practices are “woven into the very fabric of modern conservatism.”

In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/10/13/manipulating-elections-is-conservative-tradition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another perspective piece</a> for The Washington Post, Huntington accuses conservatives of manipulating elections, claiming it’s “conservative tradition.” He claims that engineering elections is part of conservatives’ political heritage, and the idea that Democrats stole the 2020 election is a “central pillar” of conservative politics. He argues that conservatives “game the rules to gain power despite being in the minority.” Huntington believes that the 2020 election wasn’t the first time conservatives disagreed with an election outcome or tried to steal an election.
When Huntington isn’t writing books or articles about conservatives, he often takes to Twitter to show his hostility towards the political right. <a href="https://twitter.com/johnshuntington/status/1352670676302311425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a series of tweets</a> from January 2021, Huntington accuses Texas of targeting liberal professors.

While on the <a href="https://eshpodcast.libsyn.com/the-case-of-blm-with-reverend-valerie-bridgeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Empowerment Starts Here</a> podcast, Bridgeman praised the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. At one point, she stated that Christians don’t believe the Gospel if they cannot bring themselves to say, “Black Lives Matter.”

In the same podcast, Bridgeman further <a href="https://eshpodcast.libsyn.com/the-case-of-blm-with-reverend-valerie-bridgeman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> that Christians who do not believe that Jesus was a “Black Woman” also do not believe in the Gospel.

Bridgeman dives deeper into her “womanist” perspectives in her book, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Uu_mDAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA482&amp;lpg=PA482&amp;dq=womanist+approaches+to+the+prophets+-+valerie+bridgeman&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=FER1LKVrLV&amp;sig=ACfU3U3B-rpnr_yB7-zEOwRBCaNAVbD7aA&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwim58-KvIDwAhUbOs0KHcqaC3EQ6AEwBnoECBAQAw#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oxford Handbook of the Prophets</a>–specifically in a chapter titled <a href="https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199859559.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199859559-e-27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Womanist Approaches to the Prophets</a>. She describes a “womanist” as someone who reads the Bible through the experiences of poor black women or women of color. She claims that this allows readers to view the Bible through critical gender and race theories.

<a href="http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/afam/faculty/?expert=stefan.bradley">Stefan Bradley</a>, associate professor and chair of African-American studies at Loyola Marymount University, praised “violent or destructive demonstrations" because they "draw the attention of the wider public and motivates decision makers to act." In response to an address made by Jeff Sessions at Georgetown University, Bradley wrote an op-ed titled "Civil Debate is Fine. Protest is Better." where he argues protesting and "shutting down speeches" are the only way to promote change.

Dr. <a href="https://bellarmine.lmu.edu/yoga/people/faculty/?expert=chris.miller2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Jain Miller</a> is the Bhagwan Mallinath Assistant Professor of Jainism and Yoga Studies at <a href="https://mission.lmu.edu/mission/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loyola Marymount University</a>, a Jesuit University located in Los Angeles, California. In a course-wide email sent to his students, Dr. Miller threatened to reduce the grade of any student that did not announce their pronouns.

In the email—obtained by the Twitter handle, <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Libs of Tik Tok</a>—Dr. Miller informs students that they are required to list their preferred gender pronouns when submitting their next assignment. He further warns that failure to do so will result in a reduction of their grade.

“I added a new syllabus to Brightspace and the one major change we all need to take note of is that all are required to include their pronouns next to their name in their blog posts. I will count this toward your grade when I check for your name each time I grade the blogs.” 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Dr. Miller then instructs a student to read an article linked in the same tweet. The URL leads to the web page, “Pronouns Matter.” The site itself lists resources that specifically <a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/inclusivelanguage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instruct users on how to use activists' preferred pronouns</a>.

Under the, “<a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What and Why</a>,” section, the page explicitly describes the failure to use preferred pronouns as harmful and harassing to trans and non-binary persons.

“The act of making an assumption (even if correct) sends a potentially harmful message...it can be offensive or harassing to guess at someone’s pronouns and refer to them using those pronouns if that is not how that person wants to be known.”  

The web page<a href="https://www.mypronouns.org/inclusivelanguage" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> further urges students to use more “inclusive” language by refraining from using terms like, “ladies and gentlemen,” or, “boys and girls.”</a>

According to Dr. Miller's biography, his classes include, “Foundations of Yoga Studies”, “History of Modern Yoga” and, “Hinduism, Jainism, and Yoga.”

The Professor Watchlist team reached out to Dr. Miller for comment, but have not received a reply by publication.

According to her <a href="https://bellarmine.lmu.edu/psychology/research/parc/ourteam/cherylgrillsphd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">university profile</a>, Cheryl Grills is “a Clinical Psychologist with a current emphasis in Community Psychology…[and] a tenured, Full Professor in the Psychology [Department]” at the University of Loyola - Marymount.

Grills is a proponent of reparations being granted to living African Americans due to the enslavement of African Americans in the United States before the Emancipation Proclamation (1863). In January of 2022, Grills was appointed to the <a href="https://reparationscomm.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National African American Reparations Commission (NAARC)</a>. In her <a href="https://reparationscomm.org/naarc-news/press-releases/dr-cheryl-grills-appointed-to-national-reparations-commission/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acceptance statement</a>, she made the following comments:
“I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams making reparations both a personal and professional matter. The work of unveiling, decolonizing and redressing the history of our enslavement and post enslavement oppression in America is long overdue.”
Continuing, she said:  
“Doing the work of reparations brings several opportunities including helping us as Black people change how we as a community understand where we are (in the tapestry of American life), how we got here (interpreting our personal and collective stories), and where we want to go (unencumbered by the weight of racism and the anti-Black narrative that dominates this society).”
In conclusion, Grills stated:
 “This is an all-hands-on deck call for ubuntu (community) and sawubona (truly seeing each other free of the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority). It is an honor to serve as a commissioner on the NAARC bringing the tools of psychology to the reparations discourse to ensure that our mental health and well-being as individuals and as a community are a central part of the process of repair.” 
Grills was president of the <a href="https://abpsi.site-ym.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Association of Black Psychologists</a> from 2011 to 2013. In an article titled <a href="https://dignityinschools.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Grills_Article.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“African Psychology,”</a> Grills touches on other metaphysical subjects. She defines “African-centered psychology [as] the dynamic manifestation of unifying African principles, values and traditions…African-Centered psychology examines the process that allows for the illumination and liberation of the spirit.”

In the <a href="https://www.ul.ac.za/application/downloads/Grills%20African%20Psychology%20Keynote.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abstract</a> to a keynote on African psychology, Grills made the following claim: 
“​​Western Psychology grounded, in its own paradigmatic preconceptions and assumptions, has usurped authority over the province of psychology. In so doing, it has dramatically limited, on a global scale, “acceptable” questions, methods, and  evidence on matters of human behavior and ontology.” 
According to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-reparations-task-force-member-complains-preoccupation-800b-price-tag-least-important" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>, in the Spring of 2023 Grills complained about the media’s concern with the $800 billion dollar reparation amount <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/reparations-black-californians-top-800-billion-rcna77160" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> for African Americans in California:
"We want to make sure that this is presented out in a way that does not reinforce the preoccupation with a dollar figure, which is the least important piece of this. It’s important, but it’s the least important in terms of being able to get to a point in our country’s history and in California’s history where we recognize that the harm cuts across multiple areas and domains and that the repair needs to align with that. It’s really unfortunate. I’m actually sad to see that our news media is not able to nuance better. It’s almost like, ‘What’s going to be sensational’ as opposed to what’s important."
<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-reparations-panel-approves-payments-1-2-million-every-black-resident" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reports that, on May 6, 2023, “[t]he California Reparations Task Force formally recommended that the state offer payments of up to $1.2 million to every qualifying Black resident.”

<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230804180348/https://english.ua.edu/people/james-a-crank/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Andrew Crank</a> is an Associate Professor of English and American literature at the University of Alabama. Crank’s faculty profile states that he was a co-host of the podcast “<a href="https://www.soundandthefuriouspod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sound and the Furious</a>” which covered topics such as racism in America, “environmental justice,” social justice and the removal of Confederate monuments from public spaces. 
Crank has authored multiple publications and edited the book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Approaches-Gone-Southern-Literary-Studies/dp/0807161586?asin=B07W99BXR7&amp;revisionId=db568cd4&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Approaches to Gone with the Wind</a>.” The publisher—who stated that “Racial and sexual identity form a cornerstone for the collection…”—gave examples of how the authors “[reframe] traditional racial identities” and “[explore] transgressive sexuality in the film version.” In the introduction, Crank wrote that “it was time for a collection that would attempt to breathe fresh air into a novel and film that had quickly become a problem in the American academy.” 
In his book “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dirty-South-Exploring-Fantasized-1970-2020/dp/0807180130/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1701368549&amp;refinements=p_27%3AJames+A.+Crank&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asin=B0C1QDKS74&amp;revisionId=9a9d295a&amp;format=1&amp;depth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Dirty South: Exploring a Fantasized Region 1970-2020</a>,” Crank discussed what he called “cultural trash…in relation to the American South.” He stated:
“After <a href="https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/florida-teen-trayvon-martin-is-shot-and-killed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the murder of Trayvon Martin</a>, I realized my project needed to juxtapose southern investments in class and whiteness with the margins they create. As I explored the shadows of those margins and came to terms with my place in southern studies, one word came back to me over and over: dirty…
“That was in George Zimmerman’s mind when he trailed the young boy through his neighborhood. His perspective of [Martin] wasn’t unique; it was endemic to a white history of white thought on blackness. Dirty.”

“[Crank], 45, is charged with two counts of possession of obscene material containing visual depictions of persons under the age of 17 involved in obscene acts. University officials released this statement: ‘The accused individual was immediately removed from campus and all facilities. We will continue to support law enforcement’s investigations.’”
Alabama Local News continued:
“The arrest was made by the West Alabama Human Trafficking Task Force…Authorities said the warrants against Crank were the result of an ongoing investigation. Devices seized during the [home] search could lead to additional charges…Crank is being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail. Bond will be later set by a judge.”
